Os desafios da prática docente em biologia, sob a perspectiva de professores do ensino médio no município de Bertolínia - PI

Abstract

The discipline of biology is important in the formation of citizens, since it brings to light scientific facts, mainly in a globalized world that we live in today. Thus, the teacher must always be updated and seeking to innovate in his methods so that the teaching-learning process happens in a motivating way for teachers and students. Thus, this work aimed to know the reality, the difficulties and the perception of biology teachers in the city of Bertolinia - PI. For this work to occur, the participants were first informed about the research and its purposes and signed a Free and Informed Consent Form, which allowed the use of the material generated through the participation and responses to the questionnaires and then a questionnaire was applied. semi-structured composed of nine questions. The results showed that most of them have little experience, and that two of the interviewees do not work in their area of training, and demonstrate difficulties to work in other areas. In addition, most were dissatisfied with their education, and the majority did not have a postgraduate degree. It was found in this research that the professional profile of the interviewed teachers is predominantly traditionalist in matters of didactic resources used in the classroom and that need innovation. It was also noticed that they encounter several difficulties in their daily teaching, highlighting the lack of infrastructure and indiscipline of students. Thus, we conclude that there must be a change both in the training of teachers, as well as in the methodology used by them, as well as more continuous training should be offered to improve the quality of teaching
