LIMA, Kênio E. C.  y  VASCONCELOS, Simão D.. O professor de ciências das escolas municipais de Recife e suas perspectivas de educação permanente. Ciência educ. [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.02, pp.347-364. ISSN 1516-7313.

In this article, we describe research about the characterization of Science teachers from public schools in Recife, emphasizing their perspectives on continuing education in Biology. The study was performed using structured interviews between 2001 and 2002, in 31 schools. We detected a weak interaction between teachers and the university, although most teachers are interested in interacting more, through courses, workshops, seminars and post-graduate courses. We discuss the role of the public university as a producer of knowledge and reflect about life long education for Science teachers from public schools.
