BIOLOGY TEACHER EDUCATION: AN EXPERIENCE BASED ON SUPERVISED INTERNSHIP INVOLVING EVOLUTIONARY THEORIES

Resumo

This report aims to present our experiences in the Biology internship carried out at the Colégio da Polícia Militar (CPM) Diva Portela located in the municipality of Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil. The internship plays a fundamental role in teacher education, as it is through it that future teachers acquire essential knowledge for the development of their identity. The theme addressed was Evolutionary Theories, a central theme of interest in the training of future Biology teachers, as well as being a topic demanded in entrance exams, especially the Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM). During this experience, we accompanied a Biology teacher in the 2nd and 3rd year classes, where we taught lessons, applied activities, and discussed the topic. Overall, the experience of being in front of a classroom teaching was enriching for our formation as future Biology teachers. Based on our observation and teaching experiences, we can form some distinct strategies on how to work with different classes, different people, in different contexts.
