Estágio supervisionado na formação inicial de professores de educação infantil no curso de pedagogia: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The research entitled “Supervised Internship in the Initial Training of Early Childhood Education Teachers in the Pedagogy Course: A Case Study” focuses on the internship as a fundamental curricular component of initial training for teaching in Early Childhood Education within the scope of Pedagogy courses. The general objective of this research is to identify and analyze the proposed supervised internship in Early Childhood Education in the Pedagogy course at the Federal University of Alagoas – Campus: A.C. Simões. We tried to answer the following guiding question: How did the Pedagogy courses at the Federal University of Alagoas – Campus: A.C. Simões, have you organized your proposal for a supervised internship in Early Childhood Education? The general objective unfolds into the following specific objectives: i) to analyze the curricular component of internship in Early Childhood Education in the pedagogical project of the Pedagogy course - face-to-face modality - Federal University of Alagoas - Campus: A.C. Simões and ii) investigate the propositions, problems and potentialities of the internship proposal from the point of view of Higher Education teachers who supervise these internships in Early Childhood Education. This is a qualitative research, carried out through a bibliographic survey, document analysis and interviews. The theoretical framework includesthe productions of Ostetto (2019; 2012; 2008), Pimenta (2005;2006), Drumond (2018), Anjos (2012), Anjos and Miller (2014), among others. Given the above, understanding the ways in which the Pedagogy course has organized its internship proposal seems fundamental to us, insofar as the internship is configured as a privileged space for exchanges between subjects who live in these institutions. Thus, the findings of this research indicate, with regard to the PPC, that there is no established proposal for a supervised internship in Early Childhood Education in the document, with only the menu and a brief description. Even though there is no documented proposal, the interviewed supervisors use similar proposals for carrying out the internship, meeting the brief description contained in the PPC. Therefore, thinking about this proposal led us to the following findings: the presence of the university's field supervisor is essential, both in the mediation between the university and the school and in the monitoring and guidance of students. Another finding is that CMEI professors have welcomed and modified their perception regarding the presence of interns, based on the relationship established by the intern mentoring professors. The findings of this research also instigated us to think about the importance of understanding, on the part of students, of the development of the internship in relation to their commitment and involvement.
