The novice science teacher, its beliefs and conflicts
Abstract
The present study is a qualitative research that followed the route of one science teacher who was starting her teaching career in 1998, but was still finishing her course on initial formation of physics teachers. To follow this teacher we have utilized the new teachers professional development concept. This concept involves detection, evolution and conflict solving, and professional concerns inherent to teachers development.
