LEAO, Marcelo Franco; OLIVEIRA, Eniz Conceição  y  MOLL, Jaqueline. CHALLENGES IN TEACHER TRAINING: students' assessment of the de chemistry licentiate degree course by the IFMT. Rev. Exitus [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.4, pp.347-375.  Epub 15-Mayo-2020. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2019v9n4id1018.

Brazilian education faces many challenges, among which as highlighted in this text, is the need to prepare future teachers with a scientific and humanistic foundation, without neglecting contemporary aspects such as new technologies. The Chemistry Licentiate Degree course offered in the DE modality by the IFMT has contributed towards training teachers of this subject to work in Basic Education. Thus, the objective of this study is to reflect upon the educational conjuncture and identify how the course scholars assess the training process they are receiving. The study is of a descriptive and exploratory survey type from a quantitative approach, that took place during February and March 2017, with 57 course scholars taking part. The data was collected through an electronic form sent via Google Drive that contained 5 Likert scale closed questions to analyze 44 aspects of this training process and its elements. The methodology applied to analyze the collected data was consensus analysis. The results from the calculated scores point that the course meets academic expectations, with the following aspects being best assessed: comprehension of concepts and the effort to perform the activities (such as self-evaluation), selection of the contents covered (referent to the trainers), quality of label information (referent to the VLE), videos (as didactic materials), and questionnaires (as evaluation instruments). The only aspect that received no positive consensus in the assessment were the chats. Therefore, the assessment of the early DE chemistry teacher training is one way of reflecting upon the challenges education faces in contemporary times.
