In China, the main goal of basic education curriculum reform is to develop students' key competencies. The physics teaching directed by key competencies would not only aim at the memory and reappearance of physics knowledge but also the application of physics knowledge and methods. As teachers who guide students' learning and implement teaching activities, the improvement and development of their key competencies plays an important role in the development of students. The key competencies of physics teachers consist of physics literacy, education and teaching literacy, scientific literacy, humanistic literacy, information literacy, and life-long learning ability.

Atividades extensionistas que visem propiciar a educação em ciências são cada vez mais presentes em discussões educacionais, sejam como forma de pensar novas roupagens para conteúdos programáticos ou para novos vieses metodológicos e de avaliação dos processos educativos. Este trabalho apresenta e discute a atividade “Pílula da ciência: o conhecimento está no ar!”, desenvolvida no âmbito do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID/CAPES), junto a uma escola pública de Uberaba/MG, em parceria com o grupo PIBID-Física-UFTM, com ênfase em suas contribuições à formação dos envolvidos, licenciandos em Física. O objetivo da atividade desenvolvida foi promover uma dinâmica que permitisse, por um lado, ouvir as inquietações e indagações dos estudantes da Educação Básica frente às suas dúvidas em relação ao conhecimento científico e, por outro lado, proporcionar novas vivências em sala de aula por parte de pibidianos, professores em formação. Para tanto, estudantes da Educação Básica depositavam questionamentos (aqui denominados pílulas) sobre temas voltados às Ciências da Natureza em uma caixa de dúvidas, para posterior socialização das respostas em sala de aula com os pibidianos. Evidenciamos que ouvir e discutir as percepções dos estudantes frente à visão que estes têm do conhecimento científico é um caminho promissor para despertar seu interesse pela ciência, sendo os primeiros passos para o letramento científico, além de ser uma estratégia para sensibilizar os futuros professores a considerarem estas abordagens em suas futuras práticas pedagógicas. Palavras-chave: Ensino de Física; Iniciação à docência; Estratégias didáticas   Physics teaching initiation and the students´ questions in basic education - a report   Abstract: Extension activities that aim to provide science education are increasingly present in educational discussions, whether as a way of thinking about new approaches for curricular contents or new methodological biases and evaluation. This paper presents and discusses the activity "Pill of science: the knowledge is in the air!" developed under the Institutional Program of Initiation to Teaching Scholarship (PIBID/CAPES), at a public school in Uberaba, Brazil, in partnership with the PIBID-Physics-UFTM group, with an emphasis on their contributions to the training of those involved, undergraduates in Physics. The objective of the activity developed was to promote a dynamic that would allow, on the one hand, to listen to the concerns and questions of Basic Education students in the face of their doubts regarding scientific knowledge and, on the other hand, to provide new experiences in the classroom by teachers in training. To this end, Basic Education students deposited questions (here called "pills") about topics related to the Natural Sciences in a box of doubts, for later socialization in the classroom with the undergraduates in Physics. We show that listening and discussing students' perceptions of their view of scientific knowledge is a promising way to awaken their interest in science, being the first steps towards scientific literacy, in addition to being a strategy to sensitize future teachers to consider these approaches in their future pedagogical practices.

Resumo: Este artigo analisa a forma e os desafios de inserção das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) na formação inicial de professores de Física. O objetivo geral é investigar os cursos de formação de professores, em nível de graduação, quanto aos conhecimentos referentes às TIC em sua base curricular, assim como compreender quais são os desafios desses cursos para proporcionar tal formação com qualidade. Partimos da hipótese de que os cursos de formação de professores de Física estão proporcionando poucos momentos que possibilitam problematizar as TIC durante a formação do educador, o qual não estaria percebendo a importância desses recursos e dos conhecimentos inerentes a eles, bem como a contribuição que possibilitam à prática educativa. Desse modo, essa investigação está focada na formação do futuro professor de Física da Educação Básica para o uso das TIC. Para isso, focalizamos a investigação nos cursos de licenciatura em Física de cinco universidades federais do RS, analisando os projetos pedagógicos desses cursos e realizando entrevistas com professores formadores dessas instituições. Esta pesquisa confirmou a necessidade de pensarmos em uma estrutura formativa menos fragmentada, em que as TIC – e não só elas – sejam discutidas em diferentes contextos e ambientes, de forma a permear todo o curso de formação.

Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação. PEDAGOGICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION IN TEACHERS’ INITIAL FORMATION Abstract: This article looks at the way and the challenges of integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Physics teachers initial training. The overall objective is to investigate teacher training courses at the undergraduate level, as the knowledge related to ICT in their curriculum base, as well as understand what are the challenges for these courses provide such training quality. Our hypothesis is that the Physics teacher initial training courses are providing few moments that make it possible to question the ICT during the formation of the educator, which would not realize the importance of these resources and inherent knowledge as well as the contribution that enable the educational practice. Thus, this research is focused on the training of future Physics teachers in Basic Education in order to use ICT. Then, we focus on research in undergraduate Physics courses in five Federal Universities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in order to analyze the educational projects of these courses and to conduct interviews with teachers trainers of these institutions. This research confirmed the need to think of a less fragmented structure training in ICT - and not only them – will be discussed in different contexts and environments in order to permeate the whole training course.

Lesson study (LS) is a teaching improvement process that began in Japan more than 100 years ago. As the LS is still a new approach in the Brazilian context, this paper will discuss how it could be implemented in the pre-service physics teacher training. To accomplish this, a group was created with 6 pre-service teachers who held 11 meetings, which integrated two LS cycles. The data for this research were collected through field notes and materials produced by pre-service physics teachers. The collected data were analyzed by Bardin's content analysis. According to the results obtained, it highlighted that pre-service teachers had gaps in knowledge about the basic contents of Physics and LS showed that collective work with peers could promote reflection and enable classes that were closer to the students' reality, minimizing the difficulty and rejection by Physics in basic education, improving the students’ learning. Keywords: lesson study, Physics teaching, pre-service teacher, supervised internship, teacher education

This article reports on the role of teacher education in the curriculum reform of basic education in Myanmar. There was political change in Myanmar, a transition from military administration to democracy in 2010. Political change impacts on various sectors such as economic, education and health. As the education system was changed to meet the international standards, curriculum in basic education and teacher education were updated.  In the previous education of Myanmar that has progressed from the old monastic education to the current modern education, there has never been a curriculum framework although syllabi, textbooks, teacher’s guides with different teaching methods and various assessment forms were designed and used. Therefore, Myanmar Ministry of Education is now implementing the educational reforms by setting the curriculum framework with the direction of the National Education Law (Soe, et al.; 2017, Htet, 2020). This paper provides an overview of teacher education, basic education, curriculum reforms. Although teacher education including three institutions cooperates with basic education in implementation of the new curriculum, it found that there are still few weaknesses in implementation of the new curriculum of basic education. Soe et al. (2017) recommended that the new curriculum will fulfill local needs and circumstances and discourage the practice of rote-learning and will ensure that students grow as independent thinkers with their own sense of creativity.

In this article we examine some of the most controversial points in Newton's Principia regarding the contemporary interpretation: the assumed circularity of Definition I, the difference between vis insita and vis inertia, Law I and Law II. The main goal of this work is to offer a wider view of Newton’s writings and provide a historic philosophical approach to the physics teachers which will certainly be useful in physics teaching. We also discuss the modern terminology compared to the one used by Newton himself. Our main concern is to aid the deconstruction of preconceived ideas regarding the Principia which are fairly common among physics teachers.
