CUNHA, Maria Bernadete de Melo  and  SILVA, José Luis de Paula Barros. Thematic complexes in teacher training in field education. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2016, n.61, pp.171-188. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.45967.

In this article we intend to show meanings assigned by students of the Teacher Training Course in Field Education/Universidade Federal da Bahia about a Thematic Complexes System in their teaching work. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected and analyzed trough two teaching plans prepared by students, using themes from the Complexes System. Between them, we made individual semi-structured interviews to complement data. Results show that the Thematic Complexes System was partially incorporated into the pedagogical praxis of these students and that there have been improvement in relating teaching of school science content with relevant social issues, concurring to a better understanding of reality. Although results are positive, difficulties met during the training process point out the need to fight for working conditions in Higher Education Institutions that allow other ways of teaching and training teachers, promoting their continuing education permanently.
