Autonomia das atividades dos professores de Biologia: como ocorre?

Abstract

The present work is based on Paulo Freire's concept of autonomy and aims to analyze whether there is and how there is autonomy in the activities of high school biology teachers. In order to understand these issues, a survey was carried out with six teachers of this discipline who work actively in education, three from public schools and three from the private network. For the research, with a qualitative approach, a form was created on the Google platform with nine questions about their school routine and what the participants understand about autonomy. The questions were answered virtually. The answers point to a superficial notion about the term autonomy, however, it varies in relation to the educator's teaching place, being better found in public schools. It is highlighted that most of the educators interviewed have not yet read any author who works on teacher autonomy.
