Abstract

The science education in the early years of elementary school often has a character of biological sciences, leaving aside the physical sciences. Thus, this research assumes an important role in schools, specifically on the importance of teacher education in the early years of elementary school, dealing with physical knowledge. The theoretical perspective adopted located the trajectory of physical science education and its importance for students in the early years of elementary school, based on the perspective of science education by research, with reference to Ana Maria Pessoa de Carvalho. This discussion sparked the need for continuing education courses for teachers researched this level of education, which gave a reflection on the pedagogical practice. The objective of this study was to know the reality of teachers in the early years of elementary school-Paraúna of Goiás, with regard to the pedagogical practice as lesson preparation, continuing education, worked contents. These needs led to discussions about the process of teaching learning of physics concepts worked in the early years of elementary school, with the possibility of using the school for research. As for the methodological perspective, a qualitative research was done, legitimized through the action research techniques. Surveys were conducted in the Municipal Paraúna-Goiás Education with recordings with the teachers of the 3rd, 4th and 5th year of three schools, to collect data, which were analyzed, showing that science education remains guided by the transmission, students, scientific knowledge already developed, with the storage technique. Thus, from these data, it designed the course for continuing education, in order to work the Teaching of Science for research through problem situations in which the student is urged to reflect to be able to come to scientific knowledge. It was obtained as a result of a course of continuing education, which offered to teachers of municipal Paraúna-Goiás support material that seeks reflection of their practice, which has a continuing character, which should be expanded throughout the city so that students have a focused learning for contextualization.
