Abstract

The objective of this research is to present the contributions of a continuing education course in Basic Astronomy for the constitution of a formative and reflective trajectory of Science teachers in the final years of Elementary School and how Whatsapp can enable the construction of knowledge in a collaborative way. The methodology adopted has a qualitative approach. Data collection took place during continuing education. Data analysis was carried out as recommended by the discursive textual analysis method. From our results, Whatsapp is noted as an important tool for debates, exchanges and interactions between teachers. One year after finishing the training course, discursive interactions that constitute collaborative actions, allowed us to infer that even after some time after finishing the course, teachers feedback to a reflective pedagogical practice.
