RESUMO

In the present study, we performed an analysis to determine which competencies were present and/or under construction during the education or in the course of the professional activities of teachers who received continuous education as a result of a partnership between the University and a basic education school in the outskirts of São Paulo. Based on previous analyses, we assumed that their practice was successful. Our research was qualitative and based on three types of data: the meetings between the University and the group of teachers, an interview with one female teacher aimed to collect information on her education background and finally the way this teacher interacts in the class. Through bibliographic review and research on the competencies, we delimited some analysis categories, which helped us show evidence of the construction and/or the presence of some types of competencies. We found that the teachers built methodological and conceptual knowledge on Science, a discipline that should be better taught in the early years of schooling. Also, providing a suitable environment for the creation of these competencies was essential to stimulate the teachers to reveal their insecurities and doubts regarding the teaching of Science. Moreover, we found that the organization or mobilization of several competencies is a key factor in the teaching practice, demonstrating the relationship between successful teaching and the ability to mobilize several competencies, which involves: lesson planning, search for continuous education, a teaching practice that takes into consideration methodologies and elements used in the specific area of concern and ethical aspects of education, and finally the social relations that are established within the school environment and reflected in classroom practice. We concluded that these relations do not occur in isolation in the school environment and that the organization of the several identified competencies, in a complex and non-deterministic way, is essential for a good teaching practice.
