Motivação do professor no processo de ensino e aprendizagem: um estudo de caso com professores de biologia e ciências em escolas da rede pública do município de São Domingos do Azeitão-MA

Abstract

This article aimed to report the perceptions of Science and Biology teachers from the public education network in the municipality of São Domingos do Azeitão - MA, about motivation in the teaching career and how this can influence the teaching and learning process of their students. This is an exploratory qualitative research. The study was carried out using questionnaires applied to Science and Biology teachers from four public schools. For its realization, it had the participation of eight teachers who worked in more than one school. According to the data obtained, it was noticed that teachers have difficulties in relation to motivation when it comes to interaction and commitment with the class in view of the interest in learning the subject, the lack of didactic resources to assist in the delivery of these classes, and their own personal motivation in the face of the lack of appreciation of their work and excessive workload. In relation to the researched municipality, pedagogical management does not have a strategic plan to include actions to promote motivation in the school environment, thus, it is emphasized that motivation is always necessary, especially in the school environment. In addition, it is important that engagement is present so that teaching is actually effective, and physical, mental and psychic well-being is essential for professionals to develop their activities efficiently
