ABSTRACT:
In this article, we analyze the reflective process of a Higher Education Organic Chemistry teacher on the history of the use of educational resources in her professional career. For this, we conducted an interview with her, which produced reports of memories/reflections about the processes mediated by resources, the changes that occurred in these processes and the recognition of limitations/possibilities of the resources in her classes, analyzed in the light of the Theory of Mediated Action. As main results, we point out some transformations of the teacher’s actions from adaptations, substitution and/or abandonment of some resources or changes in her skills in using them, often motivated by the recognition of the limitations/possibilities of these resources in teaching. From this, we present contributions and implications of this research for Science Teaching.
