Learning of the teaching practice according to future teachers in a distance course degree

Abstract

This research deals with the Teaching Learning Focus to investigate what prospective biology teachers have learned about teaching. The aim of the research was to investigate what future biology teachers have learned about teaching. The analytical tools of the Teaching Learning Focus focused on writings from 71 memorials of Biological Sciences degree students attending supervised internship in a public university. The results show that these prospective teachers centralize what they have learned about teaching in topics such as interests, attitudes, knowledge and skills, and also think about teaching as in articulation between their selves, their practices and their social context. We conclude that FADs are important analytical tools not only for teaching learning and for the training needs of prospective biology teachers, but also for their identity constitution.
