Working Conditions of School and Teacher Training in Science: A Study with Teachers of Biology of Bahia, Brazil

We identify what are the influences of working conditions for school science teachers training that is sensitive to intercultural dialogue. The study was conducted in 2009, based on semi-structured interview, and involved nine teachers of biology at Bahia, Brazil. The results indicate that several factors of the schools where the teachers interviewed work interfere negatively in their teaching and their training with regard to intercultural dialogue. Mobilizations are necessary to obtain changes in this way, especially by teachers, schools, universities and decision makers in the field of public policy education.
