O PET/Biologia: vivências que contribuem para a formação inicial de professores

Abstract

The Tutorial Education Program presents itself as an incentive for the initial formation of teachers present in several educational institutions in the country. The program excels in introducing students to experiences not only in research and extension, but also in teaching, through extracurricular activities. From this perspective, a study was carried out on the contributions of PET / Biology to the training of future teachers, taking as subjects subjects undergraduates and graduates of the Biological Sciences course of the UFC. To perform the research that bases this work, the subjects were submitted to semi-structured interviews and the testimonies to the analysis of their content. From the analysis, it can be inferred that the program complements the needs arising from the teacher education policy, within the possibilities, tendencies, perspectives and guidelines that govern the construction of this professional in the environment in which they are inserted. The participation of undergraduates in the program provides experiences necessary for the formation of the future educator and the construction of their teacher identity, through the process of evaluation and reassessment of their practice.
