The work of Biology teachers: theorizing from the contributions of researchers in Science and Biology education

Abstract:

This paper is a theoretical-conceptual essay and presents a theorization for the Work of Biology Teachers. This theory constitutes the interviews with researchers Krasilchik; Marandino; Selles; Cassiani; Valim; Galieta; El-Hani. The reports were used as a theoretical basis. With this foundation, it was theorized that the Work of Biology Teachers is based on four pillars. These four pillars promote greater understanding of the Work of the Biology Professor in the philosophical, pedagogical, and political spheres. These four pillars are: (1) Philosophical Conceptions about Biology Education and Teaching; (2) The Pedagogical Work of Biology Teachers; (3) The Work Conditions of Biology Teachers; (4) Confrontations, Struggles and Resistances of Biology Teachers.
