A formação de professores e experimentação investigativa em ciências: Uma revisão de literatura

This article presents a literature review on Teacher Training and Investigative Experimentation in Natural Sciences Teaching. To achieve this, a search was conducted in the articles from the National Meeting of Research in Science Education (ENPEC) from 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021. A total of 30 articles related to the mentioned themes were analyzed, from which four categories emerged: (I) The education of pre-service teachers and Inquiry-Based Science Education; (II) Inquiry-Based Teaching and teaching practices in Early Childhood Education; (III) Teacher education and investigative activities in Natural Sciences Teaching; and (IV) Teaching integrated with investigative experimental activities. This article discusses two of the categories: (III) Teacher educational and investigative activities in Natural Sciences Teaching; (IV) Teaching integrated with investigative experimental activities, while the remaining categories will be addressed in a future document. The analysis, based on Bardin's Content Analysis, emphasized the importance of Teacher Education in developing investigative methodologies in the Natural Science Teaching, promoting active student participation and engagement in their learning process.
