Teaching knowledge in the training of indigenous Science teachers: An experience report in Alto Solimões, Amazonas

Abstract

Here we present a pedagogical experience report, in which we characterize the activities developed in the mandatory Teaching Internship subject, trying to articulate elements of teaching knowledge in the training of indigenous teachers, presenting concepts that explore reflections on teaching internships in undergraduate courses. The internship was carried out at the Institute of Nature and Culture-INC, Alto Solimões campus of the Federal University of Amazonas-UFAM, in the Bachelor of Science course: Biology and Chemistry, in the discipline of Environmental Education and Citizenship, taking place in the second semester of 2024 , with 14 academics, 10 of whom are indigenous to the Ticuna ethnic group. In addition to contributing to the intern's continued training, the teaching internship helped in the processes of building teaching knowledge in the initial training of undergraduate students, through the execution of activities consistent with teaching and learning with an intercultural profile, highlighting the need to overcome science teaching by memorization and transmission of content, through activities that problematized the reality and life experiences of graduates, enabling practice in the formation of critical citizens aware of their social role, in their indigenous communities.
