Abstract

This paper lays out a practical example of metacognitive activities and   their   contribution to the education of reflective and critical-minded Physics teachers, supported by a methodology based on research. The experiment was done by undergraduate and graduate students with Elementary and High School pupils. It shows the participants increasing awareness of the complexities of the mediation process in teaching and their perception in face of the teacher’s multiple intervention alternatives in the teaching and learning process and also in face of the obstacles for overcoming classic educational models. Possible causes for those difficulties have been pointed out and suggestions have been made to improve Physics Teachers Education.
