Abstract

In this article, we discuss the academic training of science teachers intending to work in middle
school. We believe that the teacher who teaches at this level should have an exclusive training, as students from
the 6th to the 9th grades have specific pedagogical needs and the curriculum of Natural Sciences practiced in
schools is far from the reality experienced in high schools, because it is based on the dialogues between
disciplinary knowledge structuring the areas of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geology and Astronomy. From this
perspective, we analyze curricular matrices of Full Degree courses in Natural Sciences. We take into account the
disciplinary areas contemplated, the formative axes and the diverse contexts of creation of these courses. The
research on the training provided by these courses allowed us to draw points that differentiate and characterize
this type of professional development.
