SILVA, Alexsandro Alberto da  and  ARAUJO, Monica Lopes Folena. The perception of area coordinator-teachers and supervisors on actions and contributions of Biology IPTIS for teacher education. Ciência educ. [online]. 2021, vol.27, e21059.  Epub Oct 26, 2021. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320210059.

Continuing education takes place through the construction of didactic-pedagogical knowledge, which enables the exercise of teaching; however, it is often undervalued in the education of and in the experience, mainly, of supervisors linked to the Institutional Program of Teaching Initiation Scholarships (IPTIS) in schools. In this perspective, this study aimed to analyze conceptions of teacher coordinators and supervisors of Biology IPTIS on actions and contributions for teacher education. Based on the analysis of interviews it is possible to infer that the IPTIS played an important role in the formation of a teaching professional’s identity, because it provides coordinators and supervisors with a reflection about the true role of the reflective-investigative teacher thanks to the school-university interaction. The program contributed to the training of teachers, allowing for the creation of opportunities for living the teaching practice based on the critical reflection on their own actions.

Keywords : Biology teaching; continuing teacher training; IPTIS; Professional identity; Teaching practice.
