Experiência metodológica no ensino da disciplina Hidrogeologia no curso de graduação em geologia do Centro de Ciências da Universidade Federal do Ceará.

Abstract

This paper presents a study experíence in the fírst specialization course in Geoscience Education, conducted by the Department of Exact Sciences - Geosciences Area, from State University of Feira de Santana (UEFS), in partnership with the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) and the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). Originally, the "Specialization in Geology Teaching in Higher Education" had its beginning in 1979, promoted by the Department of Geology of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), with financial support from CAPES, with the faculty of teacher education UFPA and the Geology Teaching Group (GEG, born at the University of São Paulo/USP) and as participants teachers of that department. The Department of Geology UFPA expressed interest in holding such expertise, based on the lack of didactic and pedagogical training of teachers geologists, not covered by any discipline in the undergraduate degree in geology. In the national context this need was confirmed by the survey results performed by the Brazilian Society of Geology (SBG) with the support of MEC (SBG/MEC in 1981) and the need to supply it manifested in various conclaves of the geological community, especially at the National Symposium on Geology Teaching/SBG in 1982. From the year 1984, with the hiring UNICAMP of the professionals of Geology Teaching Group (GEG/SP), the Specialization Course (CE) shall be offered every two years by area Applied Education for Geosciences (AEAG) of the Geosciences Institute (IG - UNICAMP), with the collaboration of the Department of Teaching Methodology (DEME), Faculty of Education also from Unicamp, having turned into a permanent activity with offer in 1992. according to the Internai Rules of Geosciences Specialization course (Unicamp) the course is for graduates in higher education, with the objective of updating and improving the skills in geosciences and teaching methodology in geosciences and in extent possible, to obtain access to new research results, subject to immediate use in the third grade teachers. The fírst specialization course in Geoscience Education offered by the University of Feira de Santana (UEFS) in partnership with UFBA and Unicamp, had its structure made in accordance with the currently adopted by UNICAMP format, being conducted in two phases classes - the fírst 3/July to 4/august/1995 and the second form 8/January to 9/february/1996; corresponding to the holidays semesters periods, still counting, with an intermediate phase (Pilot Study), paying in seven months activity. Step related to Work Pilot (TP) is linked to the courses taught by teachers participating in the Specialization Course in their home institutions. It consists of a theoretical and practical work in order to support restructuring in the educational planning process and substantiate the composition of the monograph to be presented at the end of the course.
