SCIENCE TEACHING IN PANDEMIC TIMES: REFLECTIONS FROM TRAINING TEACHERS

The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus has caused significant impacts in all social segments, including Science Education. We developed this article of qualitative character, to understand the perceptions and implications of graduate students in Education for Science and Mathematics about the consequences of the pandemic for Science Education and teacher training. For this, we used as an instrument of collection an online questionnaire, with three open questions on the theme. The answers obtained were categorized and analyzed through content analysis, based on studies by Bardin (2011), from which two very evident reflective categories emerged: Science Teaching and technological innovations and transformations in the teacher training process. The results obtained in this study demonstrated several interpretations of the participants about this historical moment, the difficulties, challenges, and possibilities that can guide the theoretical, epistemological and practical discussions and reflections of the readers on the theme.
