Previous research has shown that substantial learning gains are possible when formative assessment and support for students’ development of self-regulated learning skills are implemented in classroom practice. Such implementation is not straightforward and there is a need for both further understanding of the knowledge and skills teachers require to practice formative assessment, and further insights into how different characteristics of ordinary teaching practices support students’ in becoming proficient self-regulated learners. This doctoral thesis includes a licentiate thesis and two articles. In the licentiate thesis, classroom observations are used to investigate the knowledge and skills used by a teacher engaged in a comprehensive formative classroom practice. The results show that the teacher's practice is complex and requires advanced knowledge and skills that are often used simultaneously and under time pressure. For example, the teacher, sometimes in a matter of seconds, handles new (to her) mathematics, makes inferences from students’ responses to their understanding, and based on these inferences makes decisions about her teaching. The first article is a literature review focusing on the effects of formative assessment on student achievement in mathematics since there is a lack of knowledge of the effects of formative assessment on student achievement, in particular for subject areas such as mathematics. In the review, a systematic literature search is made for articles studying the effects of both teacher-centered approaches and approaches emphasizing student involvement in the formative assessment processes. The latter type of approaches includes teacher practices that support students’ development of aspects of self-regulated learning competence. The results show that all approaches included in the review have significant positive effects on student achievement in mathematics. The second article examines in what ways learning situations in authentic classroom practices provide opportunities for the students to develop self-regulated learning skills, and how students experience these opportunities. The analysis is based on data from classroom observations of three teachers’ mathematics lessons, and on interviews with their students. The results show that instruction in self-regulated learning skills mostly occurred implicitly, and the opportunities to develop the skills were mainly provided and experienced at the observational level.

This dissertation attempts to deepen our understanding of teachers’ work and professionality, which involves not only their reasoning about what to teach and how to teach it, but also of what it is that makes education possible. This is accomplished by exploring a highly influential, if underestimated and under-researched, dimension of teacher practice and professionality: the relational dimension, involving the establishment and maintenance of educational relationships with and among students. In the imperatives and challenges of the 21st century the importance of highlighting the relational dimension seems to be a concern of increasing importance. Through interviews and observation that have generated the empirical material, the relational practices of eleven teachers are analyzed in accordance with a particular methodological scheme. Apart from providing a descriptive mapping of these practices, this study presents the practical arguments given by informants to substantiate their use. The numerous examples of relational practices and practical arguments that are herein provided serve to empirically confirm the pervasive relational character of a teacher’s work. What emerges is an understanding of an educational relationship, established and maintained by practices that seek genuine human contact with students, and that views relational attributes such as trust, social justice, benevolence, empathy and openness to the other as being of vital importance to the entirety of the educational process. In addition, the practices involving enacting educational communities among students, are shown to have significance for the educational process. What emerges as well is a conception of relational professionality as something that can be learned, meaning that teachers are made, not born. Moreover, “being professional” is here conceived, in pedagogical rather than sociological terms, as something that involves the quality of a teacher’s actions rather than the fact that s/he belongs to a particular profession. The findings of this study strongly suggest that relationships in schools often require conscious attention, rigorous work and delicate negotiations on the part of teachers in order to be (or become) educational. The process of education is sustained by an array of subtle relational conditions. The attempt of the teacher to deal with these conditions requires specific professional experience, understandings and practices.

Este estudo situa-se no campo de formação de professores e utiliza o conceito de Conhecimento Pedagógico do Conteúdo (PCK) como referencial teórico. O PCK versa sobre um conhecimento específico do professor, que fundamenta suas decisões didáticas diante dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem no contexto de sala de aula. Neste trabalho, investigamos o PCK sobre conceitos pertinentes ao tema \"Natureza da Matéria\", de licenciandos em Química, manifesto no processo de elaboração de um planejamento de ensino proposto em uma disciplina integradora (entre conteúdo químico e pedagógico) de final de curso, oferecida no IQ-USP. Os planejamentos elaborados pelos licenciandos, assim como as transcrições de gravações dos debates gerados nessa disciplina, foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo agrupando-se as ideias centrais em categorias construídas a partir do modelo de PCK de Rollnick et al.. Os resultados indicam que as discussões para elaboração do CoRe promoveu, ainda na graduação, a ampliação do repertório profissional. Na elaboração do planejamento de ensino, os licenciandos também puderam refletir sobre os conhecimentos necessários para a docência e evidenciaram as manifestações e o domínio dos conhecimentos necessários ao professor. Pelas falas e textos, os licenciandos mobilizam diferentes conhecimentos advindos de sua formação prévia, a saber, os conhecimentos: do conteúdo, dos alunos, pedagógico e do contexto de forma integrada e também acabam transformando tais conhecimentos como resultado da discussão em grupo promovida durante a disciplina. Essa transformação pôde ser acessada por exemplo, quando o conhecimento do conteúdo vai sendo ampliado e ganha especificidade quando esses licenciandos necessitam discutir e negociar aspectos desse conteúdo sob o ponto de vista do ensino. Assim, o acesso ao PCK desses licenciandos se dá pelo dinamismo observado da ampliação dos repertórios de experiência profissional e pedagógica acoplados a um conteúdo específico. Os distintos conhecimentos vão sendo mobilizados à medida que esses licenciandos discutem situações de planejamento de ensino. Os resultados indicam que os licenciandos, ainda na graduação, passam pelas etapas de apropriação dos conhecimentos necessários para a prática docente, desenvolvem a compreensão, do conhecimento do conteúdo nas disciplinas específicas de química, dos propósitos com base nas propostas oficiais e na seleção de temas estruturadores nas disciplinas integradoras que, juntamente com os domínio do conhecimento pedagógico, direcionam as transformações sobre o conhecimento. Foi possível observar assim, durante o processo da pesquisa flashes das disciplinas da formação inicial no repertório profissional dos licenciandos investigados. / This study is situated in the field of teacher training and uses the concept of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) as the theoretical base. The PCK is about a teacher\'s specific knowledge, which bases its decisions on the educational processes of teaching and learning in the classroom. In this paper, we investigate the PCK on concepts relevant to the theme \"Nature of Matter\" by undergraduates in chemistry, manifest in the process of developing a plan of education proposed in an integrative discipline (between chemical content and pedagogical) final course offered at IQ-USP. The plans prepared by undergraduates as well as transcripts of recordings of the discussions generated in this discipline, were subjected to content analysis by grouping the main ideas in categories from the model of PCK Rollnick et al.. The results indicate that the discussions for the preparation of CoRe promoted, still an undergraduate, expanding professional repertoire. When planning teaching, undergraduates could also reflect on the knowledge needed for teaching and showed manifestations and develop the knowledge necessary to the teacher. Through speeches and texts, undergraduates mobilized different knowledge from their previous training, namely, knowledge, content, students, teaching and the context of an integrated and also end up turning this knowledge as a result of group discussion promoted during discipline. This transformation could be accessed for example, when knowledge of the content will be expanded and gain specificity when these undergraduates need to discuss and negotiate aspects of the content from the point of view of education. Thus, access to these undergraduates PCK is given by the dynamism of the observed expansion of the repertoire of teaching experience and coupled to a specific content. The different skills are being deployed as we discuss these undergraduates planning teaching situations. The results indicate that undergraduates still in grad school, go through the steps of appropriation of knowledge needed for teaching practice, develop understanding of content knowledge in specific disciplines of chemistry, based on the purposes of official proposals and selection of themes structuring proposed by the integrative disciplines which, together with the domain of pedagogical knowledge, direct knowledge about the changes. It was thus possible to observe during the research process flashes of the disciplines of professional training in the repertoire of the undergraduates surveyed.

A formação inicial em cursos de licenciatura constitui a base de um processo formal e sistematizado de aprendizagem do ensinar e da profissão docente, sendo ainda um período importante de (re) construção e consolidação de práticas e concepções em torno do ser professor. Desse modo, a presente pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo as concepções discentes sobre a docência e sobre a preparação para a docência na licenciatura. O estudo teve como objetivo principal analisar as concepções dos acadêmicos da Licenciatura em Matemática sobre a docência e sobre a sua preparação para a docência. Procuramos discutir os conceitos e princípios da formação de professores, da docência e as contribuições dos estudos sobre os saberes docentes para a formação inicial. Para fundamentar as análises sobre as relações de poder e as hierarquias entre as disciplinas dentro do campo universitário nos apoiamos nos conceitos de habitus, campo e capital cultural de Pierre Bourdieu. A pesquisa se insere na abordagem qualitativa e os dados foram coletados por meio de questionários (N=39) e entrevistas semiestruturadas (N=8) com licenciandos do quarto ano do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática pertencentes a duas universidades públicas estaduais do Paraná. Como procedimento metodológico realizamos também a análise documental do Projeto Pedagógico do Curso de Matemática das universidades investigadas. Para organização e análise dos dados adotamos a Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011) e Análise de clusters. Nossos resultados apontam que a escolha profissional pelos licenciandos em Matemática envolvem questões subjetivas como afinidade pela área, vontade de ser professor e a docência como segunda opção e que o processo formativo vivenciado na licenciatura influencia nesse processo de escolha profissional. Os licenciandos investigados também enfatizaram a falta de conteúdos voltados para a docência na Licenciatura em Matemática. / Teaching and professional development are processes that occur throughout the life of the teacher. The initial training in undergraduate courses forms the basis of a formal and systematized process of teaching and the teaching profession, and is an important period of (re) construction and consolidation of practices and conceptions around being a teacher.In this way, the present research has as object of study the conceptions of the math graduates on teaching and on their preparation for teaching. The main objective of this study was to analyze the conceptions of the undergraduate students in Mathematics about teaching and their preparation for teaching.We seek to discuss the concepts and principles of teacher education, teaching and the contributions of studies on teacher knowledge for initial training. In order to base analyzes on power relations and hierarchies between disciplines within the university field, we rely on Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, field and cultural capital.The research is part of the qualitative approach and the data were collected through questionnaires (N = 39) and semi-structured interviews (N = 8) with graduates of the fourth year of the degree course in Mathematics belonging to two state public universities of Paraná. As a methodological procedure we also performed the documentary analysis of the Pedagogical Project of the Mathematics Course of the researched universities. For data organization and analysis we adopted Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2011) and Cluster Analysis. Our results point out that the professional choice by the Mathematics graduates involve subjective questions such as affinity for the area, willingness to be a teacher and teaching as a second option and that the training process experienced in the degree affects this process of professional choice. The licensees investigated also emphasized the lack of specific contents for the teaching in the Degree in Mathematics.

The study was a research-action: it used observation video registers of four teachers daily routines, working with three groups of children, at four moments: stories telling, feeding, playing and contact with the families. The filmed registers were then commented by them, in individual interviews and in pairs, with the aim of getting their interpretations about the scenes and their explanations about the several sources of knowledge and experiences that based the observed practices. The several types of knowledge were perceived as adaptations, transformations and associations of theory with practice, using personal filters, in accordance with the concrete situations in the work place, having as background their professional and personal trajectory. The knowledge of the teachers are built, over time, from their life stories, their childhood memories, experiences including those as mothers, readings, courses, tastes, getting along together and observation of other professionals, knowledge of the child, contact with the families, reflections on and about the practice, availability to hear and to perceive children s needs and rhythms, in addition to the academic training. Such process is crossed by the complexity and emergence of day to day situations, when such knowledges are mobilized in order to adequately work with the child. The research concludes that, to be successful and to contribute to the improvement of small children s education, all public training policy must be based on the knowledge of the teachers work place, on their thoughts, speeches, needs and expectations, acknowledging their professional value, stimulating their protagonism as social actors and looking for ways to understand how they transform their knowledge in day to day practices, with children, their peers and families / Este trabalho analisa os saberes das professoras de crianças de zero a três anos, objetivando apreender os fundamentos de sua prática cotidiana, no contexto de uma instituição municipal de educação infantil da cidade de São Paulo. O estudo, caracterizado como pesquisa-ação, utilizou registros de observação da rotina diária de quatro professoras, atuando em três grupos de crianças em quatro momentos: histórias, alimentação, brincadeiras e contato com as famílias. Os registros filmados eram então comentados por elas em entrevistas individuais e em dupla, visando captar suas interpretações sobre as cenas e suas explicações sobre as diversas fontes de conhecimentos e experiências que fundamentaram as práticas observadas. Os diversos tipos de saberes evidenciaram-se pelas adaptações, transformações e associações da teoria com a prática, a partir de um filtro pessoal, de acordo com as situações concretas do trabalho, tendo como pano de fundo sua trajetória profissional e pessoal. Os saberes das professoras são construídos, ao longo do tempo, a partir de suas histórias de vida, suas lembranças de infância, experiências inclusive como mães, leituras, cursos, gostos, convivência e observação de outros profissionais, conhecimento da criança, contato com as famílias, reflexão na e sobre a prática, disponibilidade para ouvir e perceber as necessidades e ritmo da criança, além da formação acadêmica. Tal processo é atravessado pela complexidade e emergência de situações no cotidiano, que implicam a mobilização de saberes, para atender adequadamente à criança. A pesquisa conclui que toda política pública de formação, para ter êxito e contribuir para a melhoria da educação da criança pequena, deve ser baseada no conhecimento dos espaços de trabalho das professoras, seus pensamentos, falas, necessidades e expectativas, valorizando-as profissionalmente, estimulando seu protagonismo e buscando compreender os modos como transformam seus conhecimentos na prática cotidiana, nas relações com as crianças, com seus pares e com as famílias

Neste estudo, procuramos investigar as relações com a aprendizagem da atividade docente, que foram construídas pelos licenciandos em Física, durante a realização do estágio supervisionado. Para isso, nos fundamentamos nas perspectivas atuais sobre a formação inicial de professores, bem como nos aspectos específicos presentes nas pesquisas sobre o estágio curricular. A aprendizagem da atividade docente, propriamente dita, supõe a apropriação de saberes relacionados com a profissão, assim, compreendemos que os licenciandos, diante de um contexto real de ensino, devido às necessidades de aprendizagem da profissão, desenvolvem saberes próprios dessa atividade profissional. Nesse sentido, utilizaremos os trabalhos de Tardif (2002), assim como de Gauthier e seus colaboradores (1998), para identificarmos os saberes docentes elaborados pelos licenciandos em Física ao longo da graduação. Além desse referencial teórico, utilizamos, ainda as pesquisas de Charlot (1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2013) sobre as relações com o saber, posto que estes trabalhos nos possibilitam desvelar o engajamento dos licenciandos na relação direta com a atividade intelectual de aprendizagem da docência. Dessa forma, o objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender a essência dos saberes produzidos pelos licenciandos em Física concernentes às relações que foram construídas durante as práticas de ensino. Como procedimento metodológico, empregamos o estudo de caso, analisando as narrativas de dois sujeitos, os quais foram acompanhados na disciplina de Metodologia do Ensino de Física II, em uma universidade pública do estado de São Paulo. Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizados diversos instrumentos: portfólio dos licenciandos, questionários, videogravação das aulas da disciplina, observação participante, balanços do saber, bem como da supervisão de estágio. A análise de dados ocorreu em conformidade com a pesquisa qualitativa. As relações relatadas pelos licenciandos se traduziram por vínculos, enquanto sujeitos em formação inicial, com as relações vividas na universidade, com as expectativas durante o itinerário formativo, com o desejo de ser professor, com as atividades realizadas nas escolas básicas, com a satisfação em ministrar as aulas de regências. Entre os resultados encontrados apontamos que as relações construídas pelos licenciandos, durante a atividade de aprendizagem da docência, nem sempre são de identificação com seu parceiro formador, no caso, o professor-colaborador, aquele que recebe os estágios em suas, respectivas, salas de aula. Por vezes, essa desidentificação suscita novos valores e sentidos para esses sujeitos que se encontram em processos de formação inicial. / In this study, we sought to investigate the relations with the learning of the teaching activity, which were built by Physics students, during the supervised practicum. We based this research on current perspectives about the initial formation of teachers, as well as on the specific aspects present on the curricular internship. The learning of the teaching activity supposes the appropriation of knowledge related to the profession, thus, we understand that students, given a real context of teaching, due to the learning needs of the profession, develop their own knowledge of this professional activity. In this sense, we will use the works of Tardif (2002), as well as Gauthier and his collaborators (1998), to identify the teaching knowledge developed by the students throughout the graduation in Physics. In addition to this theoretical reference, we also use researches by Charlot (1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2011) on relations with knowledge, since these works enable us to unveil the engagement of the students in the direct relation with the intellectual activity of teaching. In this way, the objective of this research is to understand the essence of the knowledge produced by Physics students concerning the relations constructed during the practices of teaching. As a methodological procedure, we used the case study, analyzing the narratives of two subjects, who were followed in the discipline of Physics Teaching Methodology at a public university in the state of São Paulo. For the collection of data, several instruments were used: students portfolio, questionnaires, recording of the classes of the discipline, participant observation, knowledge balances, as well as supervision of internship. Data analysis occurred in accordance with qualitative research. The relations reported by the students were translated as bonds, as subjects in initial formation, with the relations lived in the university, with the expectations during the formative itinerary, with the desire to be a teacher, with the activities carried out at schools during the internship, with the satisfaction in ministering the Regency classes. Among the results found, the relations built by the students, during the teaching learning activity, are not always of identification with their formative partner, in this case, the teacher-collaborator, the one who receives the internships in their respective class. Sometimes this disidentification raises new values and meanings for those subjects who are in initial formation processes.

Nos últimos anos, vem se tornando evidente a necessidade de reforma curricular, principalmente devido às pressões que a escola tem sofrido. Pressões essas que decorrem, entre os diversos motivos, da insatisfação com o ensino, especialmente relacionado à Ciência, que pouco tem contribuído para a formação do indivíduo, condizente com sua época. Surge, assim, a necessidade de mudança do currículo, principalmente o de Ciências. No entanto, nesse processo, depara-se com algumas dificuldades, principalmente relacionadas à formação de professores, pois, muitas vezes, as crenças e concepções desses profissionais não são consideradas importantes por aqueles que desenvolvem uma inovação, o que pode levar ao fracasso da nova proposta. Nesse sentido, este estudo investigou a temática da inovação curricular na perspectiva da inserção da Física Moderna e Contemporânea na Educação Básica, a partir da prática de seis professores de física da rede pública do Estado de São Paulo que, desde 2007, participam de um grupo de pesquisa, desenvolvendo, implementando, avaliando e reestruturando propostas de sequências didáticas com esses tópicos. O objetivo principal foi levantar os obstáculos que estes professores tiveram durante as implementações em sala de aula e, como são considerados casos de sucesso, relacionar os saberes desenvolvidos por eles na superação desses obstáculos. Para isso, utilizou-se de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, vídeos das aulas ministradas em um curso de formação continuada e relatos pós-aula de cada professor. Assim, partindo das ideias de Bachelard e Astolfi sobre obstáculos epistemológicos e didáticos e de saberes docentes de Tardif para orientar a análise foi possível separar os obstáculos em cinco categorias, que são: conteúdo, metodologia, avaliação, organização das atividades e currículo. Esses obstáculos fazem parte de uma estrutura ainda maior, denominada tradição do ensino de física, que é fruto de uma concepção de ensino-aprendizagem de física simplista. Assim, percebeu-se que esses professores são casos de sucesso, porque i) tiveram uma vontade deliberada em inovar, aceitando correr riscos em sala de aula; ii) tiveram apoio de um grupo de especialistas e também de seus pares, o que contribuiu para que permanecessem mais tempo no processo de inovação, aumentando a possibilidade de sucesso; iii) foram considerados elementos essenciais no processo de inovação, participando ativamente de todo o processo. Além disso, o percurso dos professores dentro do grupo se mostrou promissor, à medida que contribuiu de forma significativa para o desenvolvimento profissional. / Recently, it has been evident the need for curriculum reform, mainly because of the pressures that the school has faced. These pressures that arise among various reasons, the dissatisfaction with the teaching, specially related to science, which has contributed little to individuals, suitable to his time. Thus, arises the need to change the curriculum, mainly the curriculum of Science. However, in this process, we face some difficulties, especially related to the teacher education, because, many times, these professionals beliefs and conceptions are not considered important by those who develop an innovation, which can lead to the failure of the new proposal. In this sense this study investigated the topic of curricular innovation in the perspective of the Modern and Contemporary Physics insertion in the Basic Education, by the practice of six teachers of Physics from Public Schools in São Paulo state, who, since 2007, have been participating in a research group, developing, implementing, evaluating and restructuring proposals of didactic sequences with these topics. The main objective was not only to identify the obstacles that these teachers had during the implementation in classrooms, but also how the successful cases are considered, relate the knowledge developed by them in overcoming these obstacles. In order to do that, it was used semi-structured interviews, lectures taught in a continued teacher education course and post-lesson report from each teacher. So, according to Bachelard and Astolfis assumption about epistemological and didactic obstacles and teachers knowledge by Tardif to guide the analysis, it was possible to separate the constraints in five categories, which are: Content, Methodology, Assessment, Organization of activities and Curriculum. These obstacles are part of a bigger structure, called tradition of physics teaching, which is called Physics Teaching Tradition, that comes from a teaching-learning simple physics conception of Teaching-Learning of physics. Then, it was noticed that theses teachers are success cases, because; i) They felt a deliberate desire to innovate, accepting the risks in the classrooms; ii) They had the support of a group of specialists and also of their peers, which contributed to keep them in the process of innovation longer, increasing the possibilities of success. iii) It has been considered essentials elements in the process of innovation, participating during the whole process. In addition, the route of teachers inside the group proved promising, as it has contributed significantly to professional development.

As specific objectives it intended to: verify if the pedagogical practice of the Geography teachers has suffered the influence of the changes occurred in the present society; know the pedagogical practice of the teachers who teach Geography and the practical problems faced in their daily lives; verify if the experience acquired throughout the professional life of the teachers has influenced their knowledge and practice; verify if the Geography teachers search for development. The underlying problem of this research is consisted of knowing the reason why in the teaching practice, differently from the academic practice, teachers do not consider a strict theoretical and methodological posture. Despite the great changes that occurred during the last decades because of political, economic and social relationships, a model of Geography teaching was established and it is reproduced since its origin up to the present. The fact that this process has been constructed historically contributed to the traditional method as a pedagogical practice being more frequent than we can imagine. In this perspective, some questions were brought up: Why did this happen? What makes a teacher change or not his/her pedagogical practice? The pedagogical practice of the Geography teacher needs transformation? In order to attend to these objectives a qualitative case study research was carried out because it was the best way to answer the initial questions and because it enabled a natural contact with the subjects of the research, as it considers their understanding of the studied phenomenon. Thus, some data collecting instruments were used such as: questionnaires, direct observation, semi-structured interview. This research revealed that the pedagogical practice of the investigated teachers oscillate between routine and improvisation which demonstrates not lack of preparation but a practice resulted from the reflection of a given context. In general, the practice of the teachers is concerned with the dealing of challenges and confrontations in the daily life of the teaching profession. In this sense, the teachers make use of a repertoire of knowledge acquired in various formal and informal educational contexts (knowledge of the professional education, discipline knowledge, curriculum knowledge, experiential or practical knowledge), that were constructed and reconstructed throughout their professional career. This knowledge had the purpose to confront, solve and accomplish various daily activities, either in the classroom or in the school. This research did not have the presumption to show only critiques and to judge the fragmented parts responsible for the mistakes encountered in the teaching of Geography, but it is hoped that it can contribute significantly to the process of discussion and redefinition aiming at the developing of the pedagogical practice of the Junior High Geography teacher. This practice should be concerned with the changes occurred in the present society as well as to promote discussions about the problems dealt in the teaching of Geography. / Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a prática pedagógica dos professores de Geografia do Ensino Fundamental (de 6º ao 9º ano), da Rede Estadual de Ensino do Município de Morrinhos - GO. Teve como objetivos específicos: verificar se a prática pedagógica do professor de Geografia tem sofrido influência das mudanças ocorridas na sociedade atual; conhecer a prática pedagógica dos professores que ensinam Geografia e os dilemas práticos expressos no cotidiano do docente; verificar se as experiências acumuladas ao longo da trajetória profissional do professor tem influenciado no saber e fazer docente; verificar se há a busca de aperfeiçoamento por parte do professor de Geografia. O problema subjacente a esta pesquisa consistiu em saber especificamente: por que, na prática docente, diferentemente da acadêmica, a rigidez de uma postura teórico-metodológica não é considerada pelos professores? Apesar das profundas mudanças ocorridas na sociedade ao longo destes das últimas décadas, determinadas pelas relações políticas, econômicas e sociais, consagrou-se um determinado modelo de Geografia escolar que vem sendo reproduzido desde as suas origens até os dias atuais. O fato de esse processo ter se construído historicamente contribuiu para que o método tradicional como modelo de prática pedagógica seja mais frequente que imaginamos. Nessa perspectiva, surgem algumas questões: Por que isso ocorreu? O que leva um professor a mudar ou não sua prática pedagógica? A prática pedagógica do professor de Geografia necessita de transformações? Visando atender os objetivos, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso, pelo fato de ela oferecer melhores condições para responder às indagações formuladas inicialmente, bem como possibilitar o contato natural e particular com os sujeitos da pesquisa, ao procurar apreender os significados por eles atribuídos aos fenômenos estudados. Dessa forma, utilizou-se alguns métodos de coletas de dados como: questionários, observação direta, entrevista individual semiestruturada. Essa pesquisa revelou que a prática pedagógica dos professores pesquisados oscila entre a rotina e a improvisação, entendendo não como despreparo, mas como resultado de uma prática fruto de uma reflexão em um determinado contexto. No geral, a prática dos professores está voltada para o atendimento dos desafios e enfrentamentos do trabalho docente no cotidiano escolar. Nesse sentido, os professores servemse do repertório de saberes adquiridos em várias instâncias educacionais formais e informais (saberes da formação profissional, saberes disciplinares, saberes curriculares, saberes experienciais ou práticos), que foram construídos e reconstruídos ao longo da carreira profissional. Tais saberes visavam enfrentar, solucionar e concretizar as diversas tarefas cotidianas, tanto na sala de aula quanto na escola. Cabe aqui dizer que esta pesquisa não teve a presunção de apresentar somente críticas e responsabilizar partes fragmentadas pelos descaminhos pelo qual passa o ensino de Geografia, mas, espera-se que ela possa contribuir significativamente no processo de discussão e redefinição, visando o melhoramento da prática pedagógica do professor de Geografia do Ensino Fundamental. Esta deve ser voltada para o comprometimento com as transformações ocorridas na sociedade contemporânea, bem como fomentar discussões sobre os problemas presentes no ensino de Geografia.

It is a qualitative research, in which the subjects of this research were teachers in formation members of PIBID subproject Biology of the Universidade Federal do Maranhão (UFMA), São Luis/MA. As collection instruments, they use activity planning, an application and an evaluation of the teaching experience. The data were analyzed in light of the theoretical-methodological referents of the discursive interactions, with emphasis on the interactions patterns and Epistemic movements, and the teachers' knowledge. We have identified that in teacher practice, teachers' knowledge and the movements they carry out in their classes are in constant dialogue and this intimacy begins from the planning until the moment in which the teacher reflects in his action and his action. In this sense, it was possible to visualize three relations that go from a wider sphere to a more specific sphere: 1) Teachers' knowledge and Epistemic movements can be constructed, mobilized and re-evaluated against interactional contexts; 2) Knowledge and movements are related through the management of the subject and the management of the interaction. 3) In the third relation found knowledge and movements are related through experiential knowledge. We consider that relationships promote effects on each other at the same time that each of them is influenced by the whole, that is, from a holistic perspective. Identifying and proposing relationships in this way allows us to oppose the fragmented view of teaching practice which does not consider it to be dynamic and interactive. In this sense, the study of aspects related to the teaching profession from experiences of their practice, needs to be part of initial training as a formative parameter, since both knowledge as for movements may be revised skills and competencies to provide chances for a training that experiences, evaluates, reflects and learns, creating conditions of teacher knowledge to be built and integrated in real situations of interaction. / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo principal investigar e compreender as possíveis relações entre os saberes docentes construídos e mobilizados por futuros professores e os movimentos epistêmicos elaborados por estes em aulas de Biologia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, na qual os sujeitos desta pesquisa foram licenciandos participantes do PIBID subprojeto Biologia da Universidade Federal do Maranhão (UFMA), São Luís/MA. Como instrumentos de coleta utilizamos o planejamento das atividades, a aplicação e a avaliação da experiência docente. Os dados foram analisados à luz dos referenciais teórico-metodológicos das interações discursivas, com ênfase nos padrões de interações e movimentos epistêmicos, e os saberes docentes. Identificamos que, na prática docente, os saberes dos professores e os movimentos que estes realizam em suas aulas estão em constante diálogo e essa íntima relação começa desde o planejamento até o momento em que o professor reflete na sua ação e sobre sua ação. Foi possível identificar três relações que partem de uma esfera mais ampla para uma mais específica: 1) os saberes docentes e os movimentos epistêmicos podem ser construídos, mobilizados e reavaliados frente a contextos interacionais; 2) os saberes e movimentos se relacionam por meio da gestão da matéria e da gestão da interação; 3) os saberes e movimentos se relacionam por meio dos saberes experienciais. Consideramos que as relações promovem efeitos umas nas outras ao mesmo tempo em que cada uma delas é influenciada pelo todo, em outras palavras, partem de uma perspectiva holística. Identificar e propor as relações dessa maneira nos permite contrapor à visão fragmentada da prática docente a qual não considera que esta é dinâmica e interativa. O estudo de aspectos inerentes à profissão docente a partir de vivências da sua prática, precisa fazer parte da formação inicial como parâmetro formativo, uma vez que, tanto para saberes como para movimentos poderão ser revistas habilidades e competências ao proporcionar chances para uma formação que experimenta, avalia, reflete e aprende, criando condições dos saberes docentes serem construídos e integrados em situações reais de interação.

Syftet med avhandlingen är att granska hur lärarkunskap formuleras och bedöms i verksamhetsförlagd utbildning (VFU) inom svensk lärarutbildning. Utgångspunkten tas i det faktum att lärares yrkeskunskaper under lång tid varit uppdelade och beskrivna som teoretiska och praktiska, till exempel uttryckta som lärares tänkande respektive lärares handlande, eller vad lärare vet och vad lärare kan utföra. Det senaste policydokumentet för svensk lärarutbildning speglar denna uppdelning och poängterar vikten av en integrering av det teoretiska och praktiska under såväl högskoleförlagd utbildning (HFU) som VFU. Därmed finns det policyintentioner kring en mer forskningsgrundad VFU samtidigt som HFU anmodas ta sin utgångspunkt i erfarenhetsgrundad kunskap. Som analysverktyg används ett kunskapsteoretiskt ramverk där lärarkunskap förstås som påståendekunskap eller procedurkunskap och kunskap-för-praktiken (forskningsgrundad) eller kunskap-i-praktiken (erfarenhetsgrundad). I Studie I granskas kunskapsmål, riktade mot VFU, vid sjutton lärarprogram i Sverige. I Studie II och Studie III granskas bedömningssamtal i två olika VFU-kurser vid ett (1) lärarprogram i Sverige. Resultaten från Studie I visar att kunskapsmålen kan förstås som ett mischmasch av lärares påstående- och procedurkunskaper, där procedurkunskaperna dominerar, och kunskapsmålens kunskapsgrunder kan svårligen spåras. I Studie II och Studie III arrangerar lärarutbildarna sina skolbesök och bedömningssamtal på olika sätt vilket påverkar vilka av, och hur, lärarstudenternas kunskaper bedöms. I Studie II besöker lärarutbildarna lärarstudenterna vid deras skolplaceringar men gör inga lektionsobservationer innan bedömningssamtalen. I Studie III görs lektionsobservationer. Resultaten från de båda studierna visar att bedömningssamtalen explicit kännetecknas av en formativ bedömning där lärarstudenternas procedurkunskaper och kunskap-i-praktiken fokuseras. En bedömning av påståendekunskaper och kunskaper-för-praktiken kan svårligen spåras. I Studie III analyseras bedömningen av lärarstudenternas procedurala kunskaper-i-praktiken även med hjälp av ett ramverk av modeller för bedömning av yrkeskunskap. Resultatet visar att bedömningen av lärarstudenternas procedurkunskaper karaktäriseras av en holistisk modell där lärarutbildarna refererar till flera olika omständigheter som påverkar lärarstudenternas handlingar, med koppling till deras egna erfarenhetsgrundade och tysta yrkeskunskaper, snarare än till kursernas formella kunskapsmål. En diskussion förs om frånvaron av kunskap-för-praktiken i VFU i relation till teorier om yrkeskunskap och yrkeslärande. Vidare diskuteras den tydliga närvaron av kunskap-i-praktiken i VFU i relation till teorier om de tysta dimensionerna av yrkeskunskap. / The purpose of the dissertation is to examine how teacher knowledge is formulated and assessed in the school-based education (SBE) in Swedish teacher education. The basis is that teachers’ vocational knowledge has been divided and described as theoretical and practical, i.e., expressed as teachers’ thinking versus their actions, or what teachers know in relation to what they can do. The recent policy document for Swedish teacher education reflects this division and stresses the importance of integrating practice and theory within both university-based education as well as SBE. Thus, the intention of the policy is directed towards a more research-based SBE at the same time the university-based education is proposed to take its starting point in experience-based knowledge. An epistemological analytical tool is used where teacher knowledge is understood as being propositional or procedural, and knowledge-for-practice (research-based) or knowledge-in-practice (experience-based). In Study I the learning objectives directed to SBE in seventeen Swedish teacher education programs are analyzed. In Study II and Study III student-teaching conferences in two different school-based courses at one (1) Swedish teacher education program are studied. The results from Study I show that the learning objectives can be understood as a mishmash of propositional and procedural teacher knowledge, though procedural knowledge dominates, and the learning objectives’ basis of knowledge can hardly be traced. In Study II and Study III the teacher educators’ school visits and the studentteaching conferences are arranged in different ways, and affect what and how student teachers’ knowledge is assessed. In Study II teacher educators visit the student teachers at their school placements without having done any lesson observations prior the student-teaching conferences. In Study III observations are done. The results from these two studies show that the student-teaching conferences are explicitly characterized by formative assessments where student teachers’ procedural knowledge and knowledge-in-practice is emphasized. An assessment of propositional knowledge and knowledge-for-practice can hardly be traced. In Study III the assessment of student teachers’ procedural knowledge-in-practice is also analyzed within a framework of models for assessment of vocational knowledge. The results show that a holistic model characterizes the assessment of student teachers’ procedural knowledge where teacher educators refer to several circumstances that affect student teachers’ vocational actions, according to their experience-based and tacit teacher knowledge, rather than the course’s formal learning objectives. A discussion is held about the absence of knowledge-for-practice in SBE, in relation to theories of vocational knowledge and vocational learning. Furthermore, the clear presence of knowledge-in-practice in SBE is discussed in accordance with theories of the tacit dimensions of vocational knowledge.
