This paper will present and discuss the data extracted from a course of continuing education of teachers of the area of Natural Sciences, held at the Federal University of Pampa- Unipampa of the campus of Caçapava do Sul, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The experience indicates the development of skills in the process of elaboration and problem solving that can be carried out in the course of immersion with teachers of the Natural Sciences areas and this is linked to the formation of a group of continuing teacher training, as well as justifies the need to establish a teaching group based on the study of Problem Solving in Science Teaching. The results show that the work developed facilitated the improvement of skills in teachers, as well as contributed to minimize the difficulties encountered in teaching practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
