Abstract

This text defends the argument that there is an urgent need to rethink the curriculum for initial training of elementary school teachers with a view to appropriating and developing scientific literacy (SC), while initially assuming that teacher training develops in various contexts and spaces that directly and indirectly influence their teaching activity. Thus, based on a qualitative research, of a bibliographic nature, triggered in the doctoral process, we investigated Brazilian historical scenarios in order to identify elements or situations that characterize the training of early grade teachers in Brazil in light of SC. When analyzing the initial training of early grade teachers in the country, with a historical lens, we observe a scenario of agreements and disagreements until SC became established in higher education; very recently, due to the ease of access to technologies, mainly focused on social media, that is, we point out the urgency to resignify initial training curricula, enhancing teaching knowledge in light of SC.
