FRANZOLIN, FERNANDA  and  TOSCANO, CARLOS. TEACHING PRATICE IN THE TEACHER’S VOICE: ECHOES OF THE TEACHING TRAINING AND TEACHING CONTEXT. Educ. rev. [online]. 2021, vol.37, e25410.  Epub Nov 12, 2021. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-469825410.

The present work focuses on understanding the contributions of teacher education to Elementary School science teaching and teaching conditions. For this purpose, we conducted interviews with their protagonists, the teachers in the city of Londrina (Paraná, Brazil), between 2010 and 2011. This is a local study, making it possible to understand aspects of the reality of this context and moment. After transcribing the interviews, we immersed in their content, deeply reading their responses. From the immersion in the data, we developed some categories, which were quantified and organized in graphs and tables for the analysis. From the data, we highlight that school placement and professional work are privileged experiences for professional learning. Our sample allowed us to identify different realities concerning the number of students per class and class hours in science. Despite children’s great interest in natural sciences, other disciplines are prioritized. Finally, we defend both the valuing of a teacher education that contributes to teachers’ practice and better working conditions for teaching.

Keywords : Science teaching; Primary School; teacher education; teachers’ working conditions.
