SANTOS, Cintia Aparecida Bento dos  and  CURI, Edda. A formação dos professores que ensinam física no ensino médio. Ciência educ. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.04, pp.837-849. ISSN 1516-7313.

This article presents collected data from our doctoral research; we aim to reflect on the scenario for the training of teachers who teach the discipline of Physics in high school. We analyzed data from Mec/Inep on the training of teachers who teach the discipline of Physics in Brazil and in the Basic Education School Census. We noted that teachers who teach the discipline of Physics in high school have mostly majored in Math and, taking this into consideration the authors discuss the teachers' training. We noted the menus of the disciplines of Physics, as well as its workload and the subjects taught in 27 undergraduate programs in Mathematics from higher education institutions. We concluded that the data are worrying because, besides there being only a few teachers with specific training in Physics, the other teachers who teach this subject do not have adequate training to teach in this area of knowledge.

Keywords : Teacher Training; High School; Physics Teaching.
