The National Program of Professional Masters in Physics Teaching and the continuous education for teachers: report of a course in Sergipe

Abstract

The new curriculum for high school, which starts in 2022, brings enormous challenges for school administrators, teachers and students. Although there is great conviction of the need for a curricular change, the tools to make this change viable are not simple and require a collective effort to achieve the ambitious goals of the BNCC and the New High School Law. Universities, as training centers, must be fundamental pieces for the dissemination of knowledge and pedagogical practices expected for this new curricular proposal. In this direction, the Professional Postgraduate Program in Physics Teaching (PPGPF), which is Pole 11 of the National Program of Professional Masters in Physics Teaching (MNPEF), through part of its teachers, collaborators and graduates, elaborated a proposal for a course, supported by the Secretary of State for Education, Sport and Culture,  composed of six independent modules, in which participants were introduced to important foundations of some educational theories, in addition to various educational techniques, including research teaching, collaborative groups, gamification and digital environments for experimentation. In this action, some of the educational products developed in the PPGPF master's dissertations were presented. This paper reports the details of this action, its direct impacts in terms of teacher training and the perspectives they establish based on the formation of a network of collaboration and socialization of educational products developed in the research projects.
