TEACHER TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SCIENCE CLUB OF THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF PARA

Training in the context of the Science Club of the Federal University of Par & aacute; (CCIUFPA) has contributed to Basic and Higher Education. We undertook Narrative Research, discussing testimonies and memories of former teachers, aiming to understand the relationship between CCIUFPA's training principles and teaching professional development. The information was obtained using a Memory Activating Device (DAM) and for analysis we use Discursive Textual Analysis associated with the IRAMUTEQ software. The formative principles were highlighted as the democratic environment, learning by doing, protagonism in learning and personal involvement that reverberate in the development of scientific, pedagogical, and other skills necessary to expand and strengthen the expertise of teachers. However, the teacher needs to be open and willing to adopt new ways of teaching and learning, considering humanistic knowledge, reflection on practice, theoretical bases, attitudes, and self-evaluations as constituents for transformations.
