Aprendendo a afetar(-se): reflexões sobre autopercepção e tessituras identitárias em uma experiência de estágio em educação infantil

Abstract

Internships in Early Childhood Education provide experiences that go far beyond the theoretical discussions previously held in the classroom due to their sensitive and practical nature, broadening students' horizons beyond books and university discussions. The practice of the internship allows for a self-assessment that the many readings are still incapable of inciting. The experience itself is already very rich due to its countless formative possibilities. I agree with Pimenta and Lima (2008) when they say that the internship offers new possibilities for teaching and learning the teaching profession, including for teacher trainers, inviting them to review their conceptions of teaching and learning. There is something to realize beyond the internship experience itself and the necessary activities that meet the demands of this curricular component: learning to affect oneself, whether positively or negatively, and it is possible to gain valuable lessons in both ways. This affecting takes place during the process, the exchanges and the gift that comes from the expectation of the new. This research aims to instigate reflections on the process of affect that occurs in an internship experience in Early Childhood Education based on a self-narrative - a method I used to construct this work influenced by the theory of Meihy and Holanda (2014). The methodological approach adopted was qualitative research, since the many records made during my internship experience, as well as conversations with the principal and dialogues with the children, were used as a complementary part of this writing. All the research was carried out at a CMEI in the municipality of Maceió, and a priori research procedures included semi-structured interviews with the CMEI director, the teacher of the reference room class, the supervising teacher Andreza Fabrícia, authorial reports of the internship experience, as well as observations and theoretical and bibliographical research.
