摘要:We investigate Undergraduate students in their Initial Training for Teachers of Chemistry within a collaborative framework involving the University of Sao Paulo and a public Elementary and High School. We analyze how Undergraduate students revisit, re-elaborate, and recontextualize academic knowledge within the scope of their pre-service teacher education program (PIBID). During their training, the Undergraduate students engage in both pedagogical and discipline-specific activities to improve their teaching skills. University mentors aid the training students, and teachers of chemistry working in the public Elementary and High School contribute by sharing their expertise. To answer the research question: “How do Undergraduate students attending the pre-service education program in Chemistry re-elaborate concepts of chemical equilibrium for secondary education?” this study revisits and recontextualizes several distinct chemistry concepts for presentation in the High School classroom environment. To achieve our goal, we used the audio recordings of planning and assessment meetings held at Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Phylosophy, Sciences and Letters of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo. To date, the PIBID groups have met seven times, and nine sessions have been taught at the pilot school. The theoretical foundation of the present work is based on the historical-cultural perspective and on the Theory of Activity. Eventually, this project will contribute to the discussion and improvement of pre-service teacher education in Chemistry.
