Pedagogical Planning of the Natural Sciences Coordination with Teachers from the 6th to the 9th Grade in Rural Schools of Tefé-AM: Experience Report

Abstract

This study presents an experience report on the pedagogical planning developed by the Natural Sciences Coordination of the Municipal Department of Education of Tefé-AM, carried out with teachers from the 6th to the 9th grade working in rural schools. The meeting took place over three days and aimed to promote curricular organization, alignment with the guidelines of the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), and strengthen teacher training. The adopted methodology is characterized as qualitative and descriptive research, based on the application of an evaluative instrument composed of open and closed questions directed to the participating teachers. In total, 17 teachers responded to the evaluation, and the results were analyzed through graphs and interpretative analysis of the participants' statements. The results indicate that teachers positively evaluated the organization of the pedagogical planning, highlighting moments such as the collective construction of the Curricular Organizer, discussions about educational programs, training on scientific production, and activities related to inclusive education and teachers’ mental health. The statements also revealed suggestions for improving future editions, such as the expansion of practical workshops, deeper discussions on active methodologies, and greater attention to teachers’ emotional demands. It was also observed that many teachers teach more than one subject, which influenced their full participation in the training activities. It is concluded that pedagogical planning constituted a space for dialogue, reflection, and collective construction of educational practice, contributing to the strengthening of continuing teacher education and to the improvement of pedagogical practices in Natural Sciences teaching.
