Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze the conceptions of teachers of Natural Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science) working in basic education schools, located in the state of Minas Gerais. The research presents results about how these teachers perceive the evaluation process and the research teaching it-self. This work, of a qualitative nature, although it presents quantitative data, used as a data collection instrument a questionnaire applied online via Google Forms, consisting of open and closed questions. The questionnaire was published on a social network and was available for collection of responses in August 2022. In the first part of the questionnaire, an attempt was made to outline the professional pro-file of the teachers who participated in the research. In the second part, we sought to understand what is the understanding of teachers about teaching by investigation and how they analyze their classroom practice when evaluating students. The responses of the teachers participating in the research were qualitatively analyzed and, for that, the adopted theoretical framework was used, which addresses teach-ing by investigation and the evaluation process.
