SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Malang City is a school which is located on Jl Letjen Sutoyo No 68 Malang City. This school has great potential and has the opportunity to carry out two tier multiple choice question-making service activities because the school is the school's top priority (partner). The problem faced is that teachers have never compiled Two Tier Multiple Choice questions, especially science teachers. The science teacher said that he was always prepared questions for student evaluation instruments, either formative, sub-summative or summative, but the questions that were arranged were still conventional. The teacher said that he was not yet skilled in compiling HOTS questions, let alone the type of Two Tier Multiple Choice that he had never known. Activities to be carried out are socialization of teacher training programs, pre-test teacher assistance. Teachers have increased their abilities regarding the preparation of Two Tier Multiple Choice questions. The teacher-made question products have 30 sets or 60 items, and have been tested with the results of the questions that qualify as good questions

The quality of science education is a very contemporary didactic topic at present. Improving the quality of this education is unthinkable without a quality science teacher training at universities and other educational institutions. Some innovation of contents and organization of the study programme for future science teachers was realized within the ESF project "Professional science teacher training for careers in a competitive environment" at Faculty of Science of Palacký University in Olomouc, Czech Republic. The project focuses on improving the training of teachers of all science branches in connection with the growing needs of the current competitive labour market. One of the main aims of the project leading to this improvement was the creation of new and innovated subjects oriented to teaching practice. A research focused on finding benefits of the new subjects for students was realized within the project. The objective of the research was to investigate the difference between students’ expectations and real benefits of the subjects. The research results were very useful as a feedback for a subsequent modification of the study programs. Some particular examples of the process and results of the research are described in the paper. Key words: initial teacher training, science subjects, innovation, evaluation.

In this paper, outreach activities and teacher training programs that are held in Turkey are presented. There are star parties, public nights, summer schools and open house events among public outreach activities in astronomy. More than a decade special courses and concentrated training programs are organized for science teachers, especially. With the inclusion of planetariums and science centers outreach activities have become more productive in the recent years.

ResumoNas últimas décadas foram propostas algumas iniciativas de reformulação dos programas de formação de professores de Ciências. Dentre elas, destacamos a implantação das Licenciaturas em Ciências da Natureza. Esses cursos têm como finalidade principal formar professores aptos a ensinar Ciências nos anos finais do ensino fundamental, sendo que alguns também ofertam habilitações para os campos disciplinares das Ciências da Natureza (Química, Física e Biologia). Em vista disso, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo conhecer o histórico, o perfil esperado do egresso e o modo de organização curricular de duas licenciaturas em Ciências da Natureza, com habilitação em Biologia, ofertadas pelo Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso (IFMT). Quanto à metodologia, utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa, mediante um estudo exploratório e descritivo com base na análise documental dos projetos pedagógicos dos cursos supracitados. Por meio estudo realizado, foi possível perceber que essas licenciaturas almejam formar professores habilitados a lecionar os componentes curriculares de Ciências (ensino fundamental) e Biologia (ensino médio). Quanto aos objetivos de formação, depreende-se que eles se comprometem em ofertar uma formação docente que contribua com a ressignificação das práticas pedagógicas no ensino de Ciências da Natureza. No que tange à organização curricular, as licenciaturas se organizam em duas etapas: na primeira metade do curso, são ofertadas disciplinas voltadas à formação do professor de Ciências e, na segunda metade, disciplinas voltadas à formação de professores de Biologia. Todavia, entendemos que essa divisão do currículo possa se tornar um empecilho à oferta de uma formação interdisciplinar. Palavras-chave: Formação Docente. Professores de Biologia.

Among them, we highlight the implementation of Degrees in Nature Sciences. The main purpose of these courses is to train teachers able to teach Science in the final years of elementary school, and some also offer qualifications for the disciplinary fields of Natural Sciences (Chemistry, Physics and Biology). In view of this, the present work aims to know the history, the expected profile of the graduate and the way of curricular organization of two degrees in Natural Sciences, with specialization in Biology, offered by the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso (IFMT). As for the methodology, a qualitative approach was used, through an exploratory and descriptive study based on documental analysis of the pedagogical projects of the aforementioned courses. Through a study carried out, it was possible to see that these degrees aim to train teachers qualified to teach the curricular components of Science (primary education) and Biology (high school). As for the training objectives, it appears that they are committed to offering teacher training that contributes to the redefinition of pedagogical practices in the teaching of Natural Sciences. Regarding the curricular organization, the degrees are organized in two stages: in the first half of the course, subjects aimed at the formation of Science teachers are offered and, in the second half, subjects aimed at the formation of Biology teachers. However, we understand that this division of the curriculum can become an obstacle to the offer of an interdisciplinary training. Keywords: Teacher Education. Biology Teachers. Teaching of Natural Sciences. Federal Institutes.

Resumo: Este artigo insere-se nas discussões em torno da Formação de Professores de Ciências e busca responder a seguinte problemática: Em que contextos a Epistemologia de Fleck contribui para refletirmos sobre a formação de professores de ciências? O referencial teórico de Ludwik Fleck (1896 – 1961) apresenta a construção contínua da ciência na perspectiva sócio histórica tendo em vista o caráter colaborativo deste processo, indagando todos os pressupostos que permeiam o fazer científico e questionando o caráter acumulativo da ciência moderna. Nesse sentido, este trabalho articula o arcabouço teórico de Fleck à formação docente e apresenta as contribuições das pesquisas em programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu sobre a importância deste referencial para uma maior compreensão da formação de professores de ciências. Palavras-chave: Formação Docente. Ludwik Fleck. Ensino de Ciências. THE LUDWIK FLECK’S EPISTEMOLOGY IN SCIENCE TEACHER TRAINING: A LITERATURE REVIEW STUDY OF PRODUCTIONS IN STRICTO SENSU POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMS Abstract: This article is part of the discussions around Science teacher training and aims to answer the following question: in what contexts Fleck’s Epistemology contributes to reflect on the training of Science teachers? The theoretical framework of Ludwik Fleck (1896 - 1961) shows the continued construction of science in social and historical perspective given the collaborative nature of this process, questioning all assumptions that permeate the scientific work and questioning the cumulative character of modern science. In this sense, this work brings together Fleck’s theoretical framework and teacher training, as well as presents the contributions of research carried on in stricto sensu postgraduate programs on the importance of this reference for a greater understanding of training concerning Science teachers. Keywords: Teacher Training. Ludwik Fleck. Science Teaching.
