摘要:This paper presents a discussion on the contributions of the discipline “Practice in Science Teaching” for the reflective training of future teachers of Sciences and Biology. This discipline offered to undergraduate students the challenge of organizing, implementing and evaluating a "Conference on the Science of Every Day Life" in partnership with nine public elementary schools in São Carlos - SP (Brazil), which was an innovative approach. There was an expectation that the adoption of a teaching-educational intervention involving a challenging project, such as the Conference, would support the construction of innovations in education as a way to allow the participants to try other methods for structuring the contents and the lecturing method. On the other hand, it provided experiences for the development and training of researchers. In order to collect data from that experience, we used questionnaires and narratives written by the undergraduate students at the end of the academic term. The logbook on the experience of the researchers and the reports from the responsible teacher were also used. As observation, for the undergraduate students, this experience has offered several dimensions about teaching, such as: a good experience on group work, a reflection about the developed actions, contact with a number of education strategies, a perception on the importance of the close contact with the students, the importance of creativity and flexibility in the educative actions and to experience that a change in the method is possible.
