Physics teacher training from the use of the teaching interactive methodologies

Abstract

This project will be developed from the perspective of initial teacher education in physics from the use of interactive methodologies, in particular, the Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time Teaching methods. Among the main questions that this project aims to answer stand out: i) What are the main conflicts and difficulties that undergraduate students are to use Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time Teaching? ii) What advantages and limitations are pointed out by them when using Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time Teaching as a teaching strategy? iii) Compared with traditional teaching, what are the advantages and disadvantages of implementing Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time Teaching methods in Physics classes into High School? Data was collected from a group of pre-service teachers on the Physics Teacher Training Course of the São Carlos Institute of Physics, at the University of São Paulo/Brazil who attend in the Program Initiation to Teaching (PIBID) sponsored by CAPES. Our interest is to map and evaluate the training of future teachers of physics with emphasis: the methodology of teaching proposal, the limits and scope of teaching activity from the implementation of Peer Instruction and Just-in-Time Teaching methods and finally interpretations and strategies built by trainers to develop the work of teacher education.
