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.

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) in education is the current development that provides solutions to problems in various contexts and levels. The use of AI in science teacher training programs is something that rarely done, especially in integrated science learning. The purpose of this study was to mapping the competencies of science teachers after receive pedagogical suggestions based on AI. This activity was attended by 20 science teachers in West Java who are members of the teacher training program. The competency patterns of science teachers were analyzed descriptively qualitatively in order to see the combination of knowledge between AI and natural knowledge of science teachers. The results show some teachers made innovative integrated science learning and teachers were able to follow, modify, or ignore pedagogical suggestions. These results also provide a field evaluation of the development of an integrated science learning program assisted by AI.

Considering the recent rapid developments in science and technology, it is quite important for individuals to be able to make decisions about their own future and their children's future for the society in which they live and to know how to establish a balance of risk and decision. For this reason, teacher training programs should be planned to internalize pre-service teachers' awareness of responsibility. Regarding this point, the development of pre-service science teachers' bioethical values was examined on a class level basis using survey research. Research sample consisted total of 286 pre-service teachers of Science Teacher Training Program. Bioethical Values Questionnaire was applied to determine pre-service teachers’ bioethical values. As a result of analyses, it was determined that pre-service teachers’ bioethical values increased according to their class levels they attended. It was stated that pre-service science teachers’ bioethical values related to sub-dimensions of “Benefits of Biotechnology Applications”, “Science and Ethics”, “Reproductive Technologies and Cloning” and “Control of Genetic Interventions” were increased based on participants’ class levels. In addition, the results of the study revealed that pre-service teachers also had some concerns about the benefits of biotechnology applications.

In this study, It was analyzed the implementation of laboratory activities in the pre-service science teacher’s training and how they contribute to the construction of a contemporary epistemic vision of the nature of science. A cross-sectional study was developed in two different undergraduate programs of pre-service science teacher training in a university in Colombia of. We analyzed the way laboratory activities are developed in nine science subjects of physics, chemistry, and biology, apart from the first to the eight semesters of the curriculum (10 semesters in total). Results indicate that the laboratory activities focused on the development of pre-defined techniques and procedures, giving little prominence to creativity, doubt, discussion, planning, and application, even though they are also characteristic activities of scientific work. This kind of laboratory activities does not seem to favor th e construction of a contemporary conception of the nature of science in future science teachers.

Science Teacher Training

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.

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

Science Classes

Teachers often consider experimental activities to be fundamental to the teaching of scientific concepts. However, there are different views about their purpose in science classes; these views are linked to teachers' different understandings of the construction of scientific knowledge. It was analyzed the views of 19 pre-service science teachers (PST) on the use of experimental activities in science classes. These PSTs were enrolled in the subject of science teacher training course of a Brazilian federal university. In their course work, the PSTS were organized into groups and they participated in a pedagogical activity during which they reported their views on two experimental scripts. They answered questions about how they would use these experiments in the future. The activity occurred in two stages: the first was before studying texts on the nature of science with an emphasis on the role of experimentation in the foundation of hypotheses; the second stage was after this. The data analysis was performed using the content analysis technique. The results suggest the importance of debates and deep themes in training courses for science teachers, so that experimental activities are not seen reductively and only as ways to motivate classes or to complement theory, but rather as potential aids in the construction of scientific meaning. Keywords: experimental activities, nature of science, teacher education.
