Abstract

The present work is an analysis of the Supervised Internship in teacher training and in the construction of teaching identity, permeating the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, in which we have been inserted since the beginning of the year 2020. The objective of this study is to to analyze the difficulties and possibilities of the practice of Supervised Internship in the degree course in Geography in the face of the reality of COVID-19 and its importance for quality teacher training. In this way, the Supervised Internship is understood as a moment of great relevance in the initial teacher training, as it is characterized as an opportunity for the licentiate to experience and intervene in the school environment, expanding their knowledge and building their teaching identity. In the process of elaborating the research, the use of narratives was adopted as the main methodological procedure, seeking to understand the vision of interns and teachers of basic education about the internship and its importance in teacher training. In this way, we apply forms using the Google Form platform for interns enrolled in the Supervised Internship I and III disciplines of the degree in Geography. The mechanism used with teachers/supervisors/as of basic education and the coordinator of the Nucleus of Supervised Internship of Sertão Alagoano – NESSA was the interview. In total, we obtained a response from 24 interns, a supervising teacher and the coordinator of NESSA. To theoretically support our research, we have authors such as Santos (2012), Menezes and Kaercher (2015), Santana Filho (2020) and Macedo (2021), in addition to documents that will guide the internship and other educational practices in times of COVID-19 pandemic. The data reveal that the internship is characterized as an essential step in the initial teacher training and that its practice must be permeated by research and reflection, as it is a moment of articulation between theory and practice that enables quality teacher training.
