TENDÊNCIAS DE PESQUISA SOBRE RESOLUÇÃO DE PROBLEMAS NA FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES DE QUÍMICA / RESEARCH TRENDS ON PROBLEM SOLVING IN CHEMISTRY TEACHER TRAINING

This investigation aimed to identify and analyze the proposals of the studies on the teaching and learning approach based on the resolution of problems in the formation of Chemistry teachers and the theoretical and methodological aspects used in these studies. The methodology addressed in this investigation was of a qualitative nature of the bibliographic type involving elements of quantitative nature. Thus, an exploratory and descriptive research on problem solving was carried out, focusing on the training of Chemistry teachers in the annals of events on the Teaching of Chemistry and Sciences and in some national and international scientific journals. Twenty-four surveys were found, which were analyzed according to some elements of the Content Analysis technique. The research found shows that problem solving has been used as a didactic strategy in the school context, with no evidence of this approach as a curricular project. In addition, there was a lack of research on approach to problem solving in teacher education in Chemistry Teaching. This research indicates the urgency of Scientific Dissemination activities for basic education teachers for them to appropriate the theoretical and methodological aspects of the teaching and learning approach based on problem solving and and they use it in their school contexts.
