Processos de construção da autonomia docente: Análise do planejamento de uma abordagem temática com professores de Ciências da Educação Básica

Abstract

This article presents the description of the process of joint construction of conceptual knowledge and the development of characteristics of teacher autonomy by teachers participating in a Small Research Group (PGP) at the school. In order to analyze the dialogues obtained through audio recording of meetings of this group, we focus mainly on the references about the teachers autonomy in groups of teachers, and references about science teachers education. These analyzes were made by groupings of categories and its systematized the conceptual contents and the elements of the teaching autonomy developed, jointly by the teachers, in the joint planning process. It was possible to identify moments in which teachers understand the theoreti-cal elements of the theme-issue that was in debated, and still situations in which the constitution of initial elements of teacher autonomy can be affirmed. Thus, we point to the potential of the formation of research groups by teachers in the school in the elaboration of conceptual knowledge and in the construction of the autonomy of the teachers.
