Resumo(s)
Conscientes da inevitável permeabilidade dos contextos e das práticas educativas às
mudanças que se operam no mundo, pretendemos reflectir o modo como estas influem no
ensino das Ciências, em particular no Trabalho Experimental (TE), num tempo dominado
pelas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC).
Seguindo uma metodologia de investigação qualitativa, o estudo guiou-se pelas
seguintes questões de investigação: Haverá um novo entendimento do Ensino das Ciências,
e em particular do TE, no tempo das TIC, ou seja, quais as suas novas potencialidades
(vantagens e desvantagens) com o desenvolvimento previsível das tecnologias e como as
percepcionara os futuros professores de Ciências? Como planificar TE numa perspectiva
actual do entendimento das interrelações Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade, com recurso a
TIC, com impacte nas concepções dos alunos-professores de Ciências?
O estudo desenvolveu-se com seis aluno s-professores de Ciências no final da
Prática Pedagógica. A partir da análise de conteúdo de entrevistas conhecemos quais as
suas concepções acerca da relação TB-TIC.
Planificámos uma proposta de ensino, que foi validada, para a temática "As Plantas
na manutenção da vida" evidenciando aspectos a considerar numa proposta didáctica em
que o TE com recurso a TIC é central, apresentada e discutida com os alunos-professores,
numa workshop. Seguiu-se um questionário com vista a analisar o seu impacte nas
concepções dos alunos-professores.
Os resultados do estudo evidenciam que, mesmo no final da Prática Pedagógica, as
concepções dos alunos-professores incidiam em aspectos de natureza mais técnica. Depois
da workshop, novas vantagens são apontadas, identificadas com o domínio pedagógico e
didáctico, evidenciando preocupação com a qualidade da aprendizagem dos alunos.
A proposta didáctica revelou-se um contributo inovador e positivo nas concepções
dos futuros professores acerca das potencialidades do TE com recurso a TIC,
compreendendo que esta combinação permite enriquecer o TE e ampliar o potencial
educativo da aula de Ciências.
Being conscious of the inevitable permeability of contexts and of the educational practices to the changing nature of the world, we would like to reflect on the ways these are influential in the science teaching, in particular in experimental work (EW), in an era dominated by Information and Communication Technology (ICT). According to a qualitative research methodology the study is driven by the following research questions: is there a new understanding of the Science teaching, in particular of EW, in this era of ICT, i.e., what are their possibilities (advantages and disadvantages) wifli the predictable development of technology and how the future science teachers perceive them? How to plan EW from the perspective of a contemporary understanding of the interrelations of the Science, Technology and Society, with the use of ICT, with impact on the conceptions of science student-teachers? The study involved six science student-teachers at the end of their Pedagogical Practice. From an analysis of the content of the interviews we found their EW-ICT conceptions. We planned a teaching proposal, which was validated for the theme "Plants in sustainability of life" in order to make evident aspects to consider in a teaching proposal where EW with the use of ICT is central. The proposal was presented and discussed with the student-teachers in a workshop. This was followed tíy a questionnaire with the intention of analyzing their impact in the conceptions of the student-teachers. The results of the study showed that, by the end of the Pedagogical Practice, the conceptions of the student-teachers had taken on a more technical nature aspects. After the workshop new advantages were noticed, associated with the areas of education and teaching, showing concerns with the student's standard of learning. MDIX The teaching proposal revealed as an innovative and positive contribution in the conceptions of the future teachers about the possibilities of EW using ICT. They realized that this combination enriched EW and enhanced the educational potential of Science teaching.
