Abstract

Faced with a complex and constantly changing world, it is essential to form citizens capable of adapting to their environment and being able to position themselves consciously and critically in front of it. A Reflection-Oriented Process was developed which allows students to question simplistic views of the teaching and learning process of sciences. It is based on four interrelated contexts: (i) reflecting as a student in science classes; (ii) reflecting on other teaching practices from didactic resources; (iii) reflecting on the opinions of researchers; (iv) reflecting on their own teaching practice. A qualitative research was developed during the online classes, with 24 students, in view of the question: How to develop innovative teachers through digital technologies? The classes were developed using digital technologies and recorded through Google Meet, making it possible to obtain data. They re-thought about: the development of scientific language, the introduction of mathematical languages, the pedagogical relationships, and the development of higher-order cognitive skills.
