Abstract

The Sirius School for High School Teachers (ESPEM) is an in-service program for high school science teachers. It is held at the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials in Campinas, in partnership with the Brazilian Society of Physics. The program aims to enhance the skills of science teachers in high schools, facilitate the exchange of knowledge between teachers from all over Brazil, and produce updated teaching materials that promote Brazilian science and technology. To investigate how ESPEM contributes to the training of basic education teachers, and to assess the effectiveness of the program, we employed various data collection methodologies in a qualitative research study. Our objectives were: i) to identify the expectations of the participating teachers, ii) to evaluate the products generated during the program, and iii) to measure the achievement of the main goals of ESPEM. To achieve these objectives, we analyzed the letters of intent submitted by the selected participants before the program began. During the program, we conducted participant observation. After the program, we conducted semi-structured individual interviews, and a focus group, and distributed questionnaires to the participants.

Abstract

This article is motivated by the Sirius School for High School Teachers (ESPEM) and the lack of texts on synchrotron light and its application in basic education. It is aimed at high school teachers of Natural Sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) and aims to present an introduction to the concept of synchrotron radiation, in the largest scientific enterprise in Latin America, the National Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), where the newest Brazilian synchrotron light source is located, in a particle accelerator called Sirius. After introducing the reader to the development of Brazilian science, the present work's methodology is to address the conceptual definition and history of synchrotron light, for its understanding in a qualitative way and to generate results that are in dialogue with the application of modern and contemporary physics in basic education, and concluding with the presentation of ideas that dialogue with the content present in school curricula on how to approach these concepts in basic education, which dialogues with the application of Modern and Contemporary Physics in High School.
