Formação contínua de professores de física em Angola: inovar pela avaliação dos alunos

Abstract: Resumo O estudo foca um programa de formação contínua (PFC) de professores de Física, centrado na reconstrução de conceções e práticas de avaliação dos alunos, numa escola secundária angolana. O PFC teve a duração aproximada de um ano, e 11 professores participaram no mesmo. O PFC foi conceptualizado na integração de diversas recomendações emergentes da literatura. O objetivo principal deste artigo consiste em analisar o PFC desenvolvido, nomeadamente quanto aos seus efeitos na mudança de concepções e práticas… Show more

“…At the end of each of the three sessions, an individual written reflection was requested of each participant, aiming to evaluate the action. Although the teachers did not elaborate much on their answers, may be due to a lack of reflective practice among Angolan teachers (Breganha et al, 2019a), they highlighted three main ideas: (a) the need for a different approach from what they had done so far in teaching the topic of electricity by including the topic of electrical energy resources and uses in a glocal perspective in order to develop the social role of physics; (b) the approach used by the researcher during the sessions should provide a participative environment, and the topics approached with an alternative teaching, learning, and assessment about energy resources and their uses should be integrated in the topic Electricity (see an example in Table 3 below); and (c) the format used in the alternative teaching sequence, namely the clarification and articulation between the learning outcomes, the contents, and the teaching, learning, and assessment activities. This last result may be seen as the teachers having found more usefulness in this approach than in what they used to do in preparing their lessons, which included, as referred above, mainly the development of scientific knowledge about electricity.…”

“…The choice to carry out the research in an ITEd program, and in a physics course, in Angola was based in the following four reasons: (a) ITEd is the first step for teachers' professional development, and so it should have a crucial role in developing future teachers' competences for education for sustainable development (ESD), as referred by Albareda-Tiana et al (2019), even when teaching is seen as a "profession placed within the context of lifelong learning" (European Commission [EC], 2005). Furthermore, and despite educational research in Angola being still scarce, there is some evidence that ITEd does not yet integrate the perspectives of ESD, which takes on board the sustainable development goals (SDG), neither in future teachers' pedagogical projects nor by teacher educators (Chissingui and Costa, 2020); (b) there is still a lack of initiatives in Angola in the context of continuous teacher education, namely for physics teachers (Breganha et al, 2019a), which highlights the need for initiatives toward educational change in ITEd program; (c) research carried out in the country shows that physics teaching, namely in secondary education, is still based on a transmissive model, mainly centered on scholarly knowledge, which does not highlight the social role of physics teaching (Breganha et al, 2019a); and (d) the first author's professional experience as a physics teacher, and as the coordinator of the subject for 7 years, in the school where the study was carried out. Furthermore, his experience also shows worries from his physics students (future teachers) about the irrelevance of the physics they were taught.…”
