As vivências em um clube de ciências numa escola de Ensino Médio: contribuições para a formação docente em biologia

Abstract

This work investigates the contributions of a science club in a high school to the teacher training in Biology. Given the growing anti-science movement and the spread of fake news, it becomes crucial to intervene in the school environment to build and strengthen belief and trust in science from the basic levels of education. The science club is described as a formal space within the school that provides a playful and collaborative environment where students can develop scientific thinking in a practical and interactive way, stimulating interest in science and fostering curiosity. Over the period of twelve months, the author participated in the Science Club at the Senador Fernandes Távora Full-Time High School in Fortaleza, Ceará. The work reports the activities developed, the challenges faced, and the lessons learned by the future teacher. The practical activities carried out in the club included scientific experiments, the use of digital games for teaching microbiology, and participation in science fairs, among others. The science club proved to be an essential space for the author's academic and professional training, providing practical experiences that complement the theory learned in the undergraduate course.
