MONTEIRO, Maria Amélia; NARDI, Roberto  e  BASTOS FILHO, Jenner Barretto. The teaching of Modern and Contemporary Physics at high school level and teachers initial education: missing the emancipatory communicative action and dialogical action. Rev. electrón. investig. educ. cienc. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.1, pp.1-13. ISSN 1850-6666.

Taking into consideration various argumentation perspectives, the introduction of Modern and Contemporary Physics at High School level has been defended by various researchers. In the present qualitative nature research, we heard and interpreted ten High School physics teachers' discourses, aiming to analyze how their initial education, regarding to Modern and Contemporary Physics, was based in a rationality which matches with the communicative and the dialogical actions. Teachers of our sample were individually interviewed and, at that time, they had finished their initial undergraduate program at least five years before. Teachers' discourses interpretation was supported by some French school discourse analysis' concepts, Jürgen Habermas' communicative action, Freire's dialogical action, as well as teachers' education research critical referential. The discourses interpretations evidenced that these teachers' education, with respect to Modern and Contemporary Physics, was mainly based in technical-instrumental rationality basis. This perspective did not help teachers' autonomy construction in order to work these subjects in their classes, mainly in a perspective coherent with the teachers' emancipation, producing reflexes in classroom physics teaching. The study evidenciates the necessity of future teachers' professors revise theirs teaching practice, as well studying other curricular structures, regarding to Modern and Contemporary Physics teaching.
