Proposição de um módulo de análise de projetos pedagógicos de cursos de licenciatura em ciências naturais da região centro oeste do brasil

Abstract

This research is in the field of curriculum and teacher education in science. This is a study with a qualitative approach, with the objective of analyzing the Pedagogical Course Projects (PCPs) of the degrees in Natural Sciences offered in the Center-West region. Therefore, we propose as an instrument of curriculum analysis the Gowin‟s Vee articulated to Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA). In order to support the analysis and to help achieve the objectives of this study, we appropriate the curricular theories described and discussed by Tomaz Tadeu Silva, Alice Casimiro Lopes and Elizabeth Macedo. Thus, we analyzed six PCPs, which from the DTA gave rise to the final categories that served as a guide to the discussions in the form of metatexts. The proposed module allowed us to find hybrid features of curriculum conceptions in all courses. This leads us to infer that most of the designers of these curricular projects are unaware of curricular theories, but, on the other hand, if they know them, they do not use them explicitly in order to conceal an efficient training intentionality. In this sense, this study warns that the curriculum builders question their objectives of teacher training and seek greater attention to curricular theories with the objective of proposing curricular projects that aim at a critical and autonomous formation of teachers.
