Abstract

Training educators to teach Chemistry so to produce learning has been a challenge in teacher training courses. This study was developed aimed at analyzing the contributions of immersion projects in teaching to the understanding of teaching and learning process and the role of both teachers and students in the classroom dynamics. A questionnaire and a focus group were used for data production. Through content analysis, we noticed that teachers in training seem to understand the important discussions in the educational field, with promising chances of getting hold of them as teaching practices when they take on teaching.
