The purpose of the study was twofold, first to create an example of a parent training for parents of adolescents and second to explore the effects of a parent training on different dimensions of parent-adolescent relationships and communication skills of parents of adolescents. The participants of this study were the parents of 9th and 10th grade adolescents from two different lycees in Ankara / METU Foundation School and Deneme Lycee. 10 volunteer parents (mothers or fathers) from METU Foundation School and 11 parents from Deneme Lycee participated in that study as the members of the experimental group. In this study, an experimental design with treatment and control groups and 3 measurements (pre, post and follow up) was used. The 5-session training for parents generally consisted of activities aimed at developing their communication skills and their relationships with their children. The program mainly focused on social skills for parents to develop better communication and improve the satisfaction of parents and also to help parents improve their parenting skills. Data were collected through qualitative and quantitative methods. In order to assess the effects of training on parents, instruments called Parent Success Indicator and Communication Skills Evaluation Scale were used in the study. Moreover, an openended evaluation form was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. In order to explore the differences between experimental and control groups, two way repeated measures of analysis of variance was used. The results revealed no significant differences between groups, however, the qualitative findings indicated that the parent training in this study helped parents to develop positive interaction with their children.

Foi desenvolvido no âmbito dos cursos de licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas da União Metropolitana de Educação e Cultura (UNIME) e da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (UEFS), cujos Projetos Pedagógicos de Curso (PPC) estão em consonância com as normativas legais sobre formação de professores para a educação básica, derivadas da Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB). O estudo teve abordagem qualitativa, de cunho etnometodológico com centralidade nos princípios da etnopesquisa crítica e implicada. Como dispositivos de coleta de informações constam as narrativas dos docentes (Memoriais de Formação e Entrevistas Semiestruturadas), bem como os Diários de Observação de aulas e reuniões nas duas IES e respectivos PPCs. As informações assim produzidas foram analisadas a partir de procedimentos da Análise de Conteúdo. A interpretação, de base hermenêutica, se deu ao longo da pesquisa e valorizou o contexto de produção da linguagem, das práticas e dos etnométodos dos docentes. No processo de categorização dos processos formativos foram agrupadas as experiências relativas ao contexto familiar; à escolha profissional; à formação formal; à atividade profissional, incluídas pessoas de referência. Destacam-se a ênfase ao aprendizado pela prática, caracteristicamente isolada e pouco refletida, a falta de ações de formação continuada e a imitação. As identificações dos docentes com a profissão docente ou de biólogo, bem como os conflitos e tensões de identidade reflete um fenômeno de hibridação epistemológica e formativa. Na análise das implicações dos docentes na formação dos seus alunos a ênfase nos processos afetivos e libidinais como forma de vinculação à função de formador foi surpreendente. Os docentes também estabelecem implicações relativas à dedicação ao ensino; ao envolvimento com ações do curso (inclusive proposta curricular); às ações de articulação teoria/prática e ao investimento no desenvolvimento profissional. A legislação educacional pósLDB representa um marco acerca da formação de professores no Brasil, que está relacionada à Prática como Componente Curricular (PCC) e suas formas de recontextualização curricular. O Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (TCC) também se mostrou relevante. Assim as opções da UNIME e UEFS, ao favorecerem a implicação dos professores de disciplinas específicas na formação do aluno, avançam em superar dicotomias das licenciaturas, notadamente a formação inicial/prática profissional, bem como as dimensões pedagógica/específica no curso. No entanto, fica evidente a necessidade de investimento pessoal e institucional na profissionalização da docência por processos que considerem os estudos sobre educação de adultos e as experiências de caráter colaborativo de forma a transformar a realidade da formação de professores na universidade brasileira. / ABSTRACT This research involves the investigation of formative, identity and implicational processes for university lecturers who teach specific subjects to train their students as Science and Biology teachers. This was developed within the domain of degree courses in Biological Sciences at the Metropolitan Union of Education and Culture (União Metropolitana de Educação e Cultura - UNIME) and State University of Feira de Santana (Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana - UEFS), whose Pedagogical Course Projects (PPCs) are in line with the legal regulations on training teachers for basic education, deriving from the Law of Directives and Bases for National Education (LDB). The study had a qualitative approach, of an ethnomethodological nature, centered on the principles of critical and implied ethnoresearch. The lecturers’ accounts (training memoirs and semi-structured interviews), and Observation Diaries from lessons and meetings at the two higher education establishments (IES) and respective PPCs comprise information collection devices. The information produced was analyzed using Content Analysis procedures. Interpretation, of a hermeneutical basis, took place throughout the research and gave value to the context of the lecturers’ language production, practices and ethnomethods. Experiences related to the familiar context when categorizing the training processes were grouped together: professional choice; formal training and professional activity, including references. The emphasis on practical learning which is characteristically isolated and receives little reflection, the lack of continued training activities and imitations are highlighted. The lecturers’ identification with the teaching profession or as biologists and the conflicts and tensions of identity reflect a phenomenon of epistemological and formative hybridization. On analyzing the lecturers’ involvement when training their students, the emphasis on affective and libidinal processes as a way of linking to their role as teachers was surprising. The lecturers also establish involvement with regards to dedication to teaching and course actions (including the curricular proposal); connecting theory/practical activities and investment in professional development. Educational legislation following the LDB represents a landmark for teacher training in Brazil. This is related to Practice as a Curricular Component (PCC) and its forms of curricular recontextualization. The Course Completion Project (TCC) was also seen to be significant. Therefore the options at UNIME at UEFS, which favor the involvement of lecturers of specific subjects when teaching students, make progress in overcoming the dichotomies of degree courses, notably initial training/professional practice and the pedagogical/specific dimensions of the course. However, the need for personal and institutional investment to professionalize the teaching staff using a process which considers studies on adult education and collaborative experiences in order to transform the reality of teacher training in Brazilian universities is clear.
