SANTOS, Gilberto Lacerda dos. A tecnologia, a ciência e seus modos de produção: representações de professores do ensino fundamental. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.24, pp.21-36. ISSN 1981-0431.

This paper presents the findings of research aimed at making explicit the representations of future science teachers, students at three important Brazilian universities, being trained to teach in the first four grades of primary schools, (Pedagogy course) concerning Science, Technology and their production mode. The conclusions to which we have come show that the future Brazilian Science teachers are far from performing adequately according to the New Mode of Knowledge Production and that there is need to adopt a New Training Mode, as a fundamental strategy to enable the new generations to acquire an understanding of technological and scientific undertaking as these new generations are currently being taught by means of traditional scientific and technological training and therefore end up inserted in a vicious circle characterized by a systematic lack of interest for contents of scientific and technological nature and by the incomprehension of the social nature of such contents.

Keywords : Teacher Training; Science and Technology; New Mode of Knowledge Production.
