Professional development requires from universities curricular innovations that promote the reorientation of the educational and development process, as well as integration of teaching, research and professional practice. Scientific knowledge is an invaluable tool that enables those involved in the educational process to understand and transform the reality in which they live, becoming actors of the improvement process of life quality, in a society with big social inequalities. The Institutional Pedagogical Project (IPP) by PUC/SP shows that the Pedagogical Project of the Course on Biological Sciences must be translated in new references that guide the pedagogical actions, in order to prepare professionals to cope with the demands of society nowadays. One of the ways to identify the demands is to let education take place in the real world, so that students and teachers experience the real social complexity, from which problems are raised. The IPP emphasizes the relevance of humanistic development as one of the main references. The needs of the working world can be regarded through the view of responsible citizenship, guided by the principles of cooperation and social justice, in a contextualized perspective, to build knowledge. The theoretical basis of problem raising education is used for the curricular reform of the Course on Biological Sciences, with the introduction of a structure in a model of a curricular matrix which can guarantee the articulation of a Common Nucleus which meets the needs of the development of both, Teachers and Bachelors. |
