Teacher training on the teaching-learning process of sciencie: challenges and stressful situations

Abstract

Promoting science and technology is essential in the socioeconomic development of people, as well as to increase their quality of life. Some indicators and results of research on teacher education in science undoubtedly have an impact on the overall development of a country. It is worth highlighting the debate about the methodological formation of these disciplines that has recently begun to contemplate it as a specific body of knowledge and, therefore, as a domain of research and teaching. It is not surprising that in our country there are strong discrepancies regarding what should be the orientations and the contents, generally named “the subject or course program”, taught for the schools that train basic education teachers in the teaching-learning process of the natural sciences.
