Resumo
This paper has as its main purpose to highlight what are the concepts of future
Science and Biology teachers from UFG about the controversy caused by the debate
between the ideas of creationism and biological evolution concerning the origin and
diversity of life. The study subjects were licensed teachers from the initial and final
grades of the Biological Sciences course UFG. This study is based on the
questions of quantitative and qualitative research. It was used as a method, case
study and, as the main instrument for data collection, the questionnaire comprising
two parts: 1) Licensed teachers socio-cultural profile and 2) A dilemma simulating a
debate situation on the controversy analyzed. Analyzing the data collected and the
bibliographies referred to the topic under this study, as results, the following scores /
categories were obtained: a) With respect to subjects perceptions about the
controversy creationism x biological evolution, it was evident that this dilemma is
related to students familiar/religious formation; b) For future Biology teachers all
ideas on the origin and diversity of life should be discussed and taught in the
classroom and c) The justification to deal with these ideas in the classroom has a
connection with a respect towards creationists opinions. From these three
categories, it was evidenced the presence of a mythical-religious ideology about the
origin and diversity of life by promoting an epistemological and Bachelardean
obstacle. Through this, it was built up another term which would explain the difficulty
of working with this controversy which was called mythical-religious obstacle. From
this obstacle, it is concluded that future Biology teachers do not know that the public
school is secular as well as they lack of knowledge about the scientific demarcation
and, that biological evolution is the epistemological paradigm of Biology. Such results
show the need for an elaboration of issues related to the history and philosophy of
science in graduate courses.
