Formadores de professores: análise de estratégia que os tornam bem sucedidos junto aos estudantes

Abstract

Only in the last decades has the performance of teacher trainers who did graduate studies in specific areas of knowledge been object of investigation. With the main goal of analyzing strategies used by higher education professors who work in teacher training, we selected four Chemistry professors who are well accepted by the students, two who classified their own classes as more interactive and the other two, as less interactive. We video recorded a set of classes by each professor and submitted them first to a broad analysis and then to a microanalysis. We later shared the analysis results with the participants to be able to further investigate how they had constructed their strategies. We observed that they presented characteristics common in the broad analysis. The microanalysis revealed differentiated teaching strategies in the more interactiveclasses and in the less interactive classes. The strategies had been constructed based on the teaching models that the professors had had (less interactive) or on their counter-model (more interactive).
