OUDIN, Alicia M. "Formative Experiences" at the School of Natural, Chemical and Exact Sciences- State University of Misiones (UNaM). Rev. cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2015, n.24, pp.55-64. ISSN 1851-7587.

The purpose of this research was to investigate "The representations of the "experiences" leading to meaningful learning for further professional development of the students in the last year of the Biology Teacher Training Course at the School of Natural, Chemical and Exact Sciences-State University of Misiones (UNaM). I intended to examine the view of the students of the Biology Teacher Training Course on this topic. The goals of this study were: to know and understand the meanings students provide to "formative experiences" in the institutional context of the Biology Teacher Training Course: to analyze the students' different academic performances in the Biology Teacher Training Course in relation to the meanings they provide to "formative experiences". We considered a qualitative interpretative methodology. It is a reflective and multi-methodological study combining conventional and some non-conventional techniques. Many perspectives of teacher training occur, and the formative experiences proved that the curricular views were not only instrumental but also flexible and open to the social processes.

Keywords : Formative experiences; Students´ representations; Teacher training; Curriculum; Biology teacher school.
