Atuação De Licenciandos Em Matemática E Física No Clube De Ciências Da Ufopa (2011-2023)

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the performance of Mathematics and Physics graduates (LIMF) in the Science Club of the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA) between 2011 and 2023. Specific objectives include identifying how many students participated in the club and describe the activities involved throughout the period. A quantitative-qualitative methodology was used, combining documentary analysis and questionnaires applied to former club participants who were from LIMF. The results indicate that between 2011 and 2023, 25 mathematics and physics graduates participated, with the majority of graduates working at the Club belonging to this course. The length of service varied between 1 and 3 years. Participation in the club provided significant experiences for teacher training, favoring the practical application of theoretical knowledge, skills aimed at teacher training and mathematics and physics, in addition to stimulating innovation in pedagogical practices, enabling the development of teaching knowledge. The research concludes that CCIUFOPA plays an essential role in the initial training of teachers, offering an integration between theory and practice that strengthens the construction of a more critical and contextualized pedagogical practice. The experiences at the club contribute to the development of future educators who are more prepared and aware of their role in education.
