LIMA, SORANDRA CORRÊA DE  e  NARDI, ROBERTO. IMAGINARY FORMATIONS OF TEACHERS FROM THE EARLIEST YEARS OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON THE FORM OF EARTH AND THE CONCEPT OF GRAVITY. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2020, vol.22, e19379.  Epub 04-Set-2020. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/21172020210129.

This article analyzes speeches of teachers from the early years of elementary school about the planet Earth and the concept of gravity. The data were collected during a course held in service, in an urban public school in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, with the assistance of researchers from the University. We highlight the teachers’ imaginary formations, present in answers and questionnaires, drawings elaborated on the theme and reflection meetings held during the project and interpreted using notions of Discourse Analysis established by Pêcheux and Orlandi. The research shows that the fact that the activities took place in service and in cooperation with the university made a difference compared to previous projects. It also shows that the activities based on previous research results, as well as the experiences of the participants of the groups, enabled discussions about the planet Earth and the concepts of gravity, moving towards the scientific view.
