Pedagogical practices in Youth and Adult Education: concepts and practices of Sciences teachers
Journal Title: Fronteiras: Journal of Social, Technological and Environmental Science - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The present work aimed to analyze how the pedagogical practices of Sciences teachers in Youth and Adults Education (YAE) are developed. The study had a qualitative approach and employed semistructured recorded interviews for data survey, which was later evaluated through the Discursive Textual Analysis. It was verified that YAE Sciences teachers’ planning is based on regular education textbooks and focuses on conceptual contents. Teachers use different teaching strategies, such as movies pictures, museum visits, practical experiments and group works, but the expositive classes are the most prevalent. The research also showed that teachers use to take part in continued education events, such as the update strategies promoted by the Regional Education Department, school meeting discussions, and by the creation of a study group to debate YAE subjects. The results point to the poor recognition of Sciences teachers on pedagogical practices that encourage the development of critical thinking abilities in their students.
