TEACHING PHYSICS IN THE SHORT LICENSE COURSE IN SCIENCES IN THE CITY OF ARIQUEMES - RO (1990-2000)

History of Science Teaching; Teacher training; Rondônia.

In the 1960s, the Short Degrees were created in order to meet the need for teachers to work in the teaching of 1st grade science. This training took place on a large scale and in the shortest possible time. In this vein, the private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) were the ones that most offered these courses, and in 1990, the Faculdades Integradas de Ariquemes (FIAR), a private institution, based in the municipality of Ariquemes - Rondônia, started to be one of them, offering the Short Licentiate in Sciences course until the year 2000. In this sense, we have the following questions: how was the implementation and functioning of this Short Licentiate in Sciences course in the Integrated Faculties of Ariquemes in the period of 1990 to 2000? How was the teaching of Physics in this course? To answer these and other questions, the research has the following general objective: to build a history about the implantation and functioning of the Short Degree in Sciences in the city of Ariquemes-RO in the 1990s, and, specifically, about the teaching of Physics in this course. To achieve this objective, our sources will be the documents collected in the FIAR archives, as well as the personal archives of former students and the legislation of the time. As theoretical-methodological tools we will use data triangulation by Sandra Mathison (1988), the evidential paradigm of Carlo Ginzburg (1989), and the critique of the document by Marc Bloch (2001). As a result, we observed that the FIAR Short Degree in Sciences did not have a specific qualification, for example, Short Degree in Sciences with qualification in (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or Biology), thus, the FIAR graduate would work more than fifth to eighth grade of 1st grade. We concluded that the curriculum of this course, there was a high appreciation of the specific knowledge of the exact area, corresponding to more than 60% of the course workload.
