The teaching of natural sciences at the Faculty of Education of UFG

threads of memory, narratives of the experience (1980-2000)

Abstract

This text has the intention of (re)thinking, in an activity-attitude of reflecting to understand, the trajectory—among (re)constructions—of the area of Natural Sciences at the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Goiás, between the ages of 1980 until the 2000s. Thus, we present the teaching-research-extension paths at the locus of the Integrated Network for the Development of Science Education (Ridec) and, later, the Center for the Development of Science Education (Nudec), both of FE/UFG, in particular, two major milestones, the establishment of Ridec and the acquisition of Experimentoteca. In this proposed narrative movement, we hope to have managed to announce the propositions, even if full of gaps, of a field of knowledge (Science Didactics) emerging with vigor and strength in Brazilian Universities, promoted with financial resources. And, aligned with this time-space cut, the field movements at UFG, especially at FE/UFG, are to expose the nature of science learned by this collective.
