A importância do estágio de observação para a formação de professores de biologia

The present work aims to approach the ways in which the supervised internship directed to the observation of the school and the teaching activity contribute to the formation of a biology teacher. The results are based on observations made in science classes in two 6th grade classes and in biology classes in two 1st grade classes. The schools through which the observations were made are located in the municipality of Teresina / PI. During the internship period, the teaching methodologies used by the teachers, the didactic resources used by them and the teacher-student relationship of the classes were observed. The observations made, including on the infrastructure of each of the schools, were discussed with theoretical foundation. During the supervised internship discipline, two pedagogical projects were carried out with the objective of verifying if the students really understood some content that had been previously addressed by the teachers. The results showed that although the themes had already been worked on by the teachers and that evaluations of the contents had already been performed, the students still showed great difficulties. At the end of the internship period it was concluded that the reconciliation between educational theories and teaching practice is extremely complex and that innovating in teaching methodologies is crucial for the construction of students' knowledge.
