O Museu Dinâmico da Universidade Estadual de Maringá : contribuições para a formação inicial em Física

Abstract

This work is the result of a research that investigated the contributions that the mediation activity in a science museum provides for the initial training of Physics teachers. For this, we sought theoretical references on training of teachers and their training needs, about mediation work in museums and their knowledge, and on linkages between formal and non-formal education. Our database was built with interviews conducted with physics teachers that during their initial training worked as mediators in physics area in the Interdisciplinary Dynamic Museum of the State University of Maringa. These interviews after transcribed, were submitted to the Discursive Textual Analysis process, the end of which it was observed that the mediation activity in its complexity and dynamics, contributed to the formation of these mediators not only through the training needs, but also whit an experience knowledge of load they could only acquire after some time of profession, and also whit development of qualities that suggest a valuation of affection while teaching tool. You can also note the recognition of the museum as a place of learning and training, and that also associatedwith school, is shown as a tool that can still be very exploited, both in initial formation as in science education.
