Abstract

MION, Rejane Aurora  and  ANGOTTI, José André Peres. Em busca de um perfil epistemológico para a prática educacional em educação em ciências. Ciência educ. [online]. 2005, vol.11, n.02, pp.165-180. ISSN 1516-7313.

We carry out a comparison between the scientific research programs, described by Lakatos (1978 and 1979), and the educational programs of active critical action-research, seeking an epistemic profile and pointing out where science can clarify our practice and identify problems of learning and teaching. Taking into account Lakatos' ideas, we seek features to structure an educational action-research program for initial teachers as well as establishing guidelines for a rational reconstruction of teachers' own practice. We do not intend to prioritize natural sciences over social sciences because it would not solve the teaching problems since both present different points of view. We are seeking an epistemic foundation for educational practice.

Keywords : Research Programs; Action-Research; Initial Teacher Education; Rational Reconstruction.
