Abstract
This work analyzes the contributions of a teacher training action to the acquisition or improvement of knowledge concerning the principles of inclusive education, assisted by use of the problem-solving (PS) methodology. The training action was conducted with 32 subjects, including undergraduates from the Chemistry and Biological Sciences courses at a Brazilian federal public university, together with teachers of Chemistry and Biology at state schools in Porto Alegre (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). Data were collected using questionnaires and field diaries. The present article discusses two main categories that emerged from triangulation of the data: (i) conceptions about inclusive education, and (ii) experiences and potential of PS. The findings showed that the training course activities contributed to the professional development of the participants, using a strategy where the principles of inclusive education were associated with study of an investigative approach to teaching and learning.
