A formação de professores de História e Geografia na Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto. : o percurso à luz do processo de Bolonha (2008-2012)

Abstract

The initial training of Geography and History teachers have been held at the Faculty of Arts, University of Porto (FLUP) since the year 1987/1988. Initially the teacher education of Geography was carried out independently of teacher education of History, but with the Bologna Process results in Portugal (Decree-Law No. 43/2007) an academic-level Master's Degree in Teaching History and Geography. In this paper we intend to present the study that we have been developing in this Faculty in order to understand the model of initial teacher training in Geography and History in the experiences of first generations of students trained in using the Bologna model at the FLUP’s teacher education course. It is an empirical study focused on the training and the representations and practices developed by students, teachers of the future.
