Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:We have been developing an in-service primary school teachers' training project which adopts the principie that if we intend that children perform experimental investigative leaming, then teachers must undergo similar processes in training context. ln this case study we present, as an example, the scientific and pedagogice! training process of a teacher who has selected the topic "Saliva effects on starch digestion", which is included in the 3rd year of primary school programme. The whole training project was centred in problem-solving, based in a constructivist perspective of leaming applied to teachers' training.
