JOINT CONSTRUCTION OF PRACTICES AS A CURRICULUM COMPONENT BY EDUCATORS OF TRAINING CHEMISTRY TEACHERS: AN ANALYSIS BASED ON THE THEORY OF COMMUNICATIVE ACTING

ABSTRACT:

This article presents part of the results of a masters degree research that is related with a theme little explored in science teaching, it is, the joint planning among teacher educators in undergraduate courses. The objective is to analyze the joint constructions of practices and conceptions among teachers educators who teach the disciplines of practices as a curricular component when they are in planning situation of these disciplines with other teachers. Based on the theoretical references of Jügen Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Act and its readers in education and science education areas, it was possible to analyze the interactions among the teachers in the process of joint planning and understand how the process of joint constructions of elements of teaching took place both in terms of actions and conceptions. Beyond, we discuss the ways to make the continuous education of teachers educators at the university.
