SUMMARY:

Considering the multiple challenges faced by teachers in their pedagogical practice, especially in light of the transformations arising from scientific and technological advances, it is essential to rethink teaching methodologies with a view to overcoming traditional practices based on the mere transmission of theoretical content devoid of meaning. In this context, this study is based on two main axes of discussion: science teaching and initial teacher training, and the relationship between pedagogical practices and the use of didactic models, theoretical concepts such as meaningful learning, socioconstructivism and teaching through inquiry, with the aim of analyzing the contributions of a course on models and modeling of biological structures, using biscuit dough, for the initial training of teachers in the early years of Elementary School. The
qualitative research was conducted with 25 undergraduate students of the Pedagogy course at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), Nova Iguaçu campus, and included the application of questionnaires before and after the course, which involved microscopic observation followed by the construction of models of the observed objects in clay, complemented by discussions. The data analysis highlighted the relevance of the use of threedimensional models in the appropriation of microscopic concepts, as well as the importance of the articulation between school content and the daily context of students, promoting the transition from abstraction to concreteness. The results indicate the urgent need for significant
transformations in pedagogical practices in science teaching, in order to make them more aligned with the educational demands of the 21st century, thus promoting more contextualized, meaningful and engaging learning.
