When Initial Training Practices Become Closer Together In and Due to Research into the Work Environment of Future Teachers

Abstract This article presents the results of action research carried out with undergraduate students in Chemistry and Biological Sciences at the Instituto Federal Goiano, in which the goal was to analyze how research in teacher education allows for the approximation of future teachers in basic education school. As part of the research procedures, the undergraduates were guided throughout the elaboration and development of research projects addressing themes related to their area of training in basic education schools. The present text has been built from our own narratives as trainers and from the undergraduates' narratives recorded in field journals. The findings indicate the possibility of a tripod articulation involving research, teaching and extension, and the importance of bringing future science teachers closer to their context of professional practice both based on research and through research.
