Estágio Supervisionado no Curso de Pedagogia da UFT, Campus Arraias: um estudo baseado nas percepções de estudantes

Abstract

The main theme of this study is the supervised internship in the Pedagogy course at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT), Arraias Campus. The research sought to understand the perceptions of Pedagogy students, Arraias Campus, regarding the completion of the supervised internship courses required for the completion of the course. More specifically, the aim was to: i) highlight the importance of supervised internships in the Pedagogy undergraduate course; ii) identify the main challenges faced by students during each internship; iii) investigate the existence and influence of personal factors that positively and negatively impact the completion of internships, from the perspective of students. The choice of the theme is directly related to the researcher's personal experiences, marked by challenges in reconciling internship, work and other academic demands. The methodology used was based on a qualitative approach, with field research. As a data collection instrument, an online questionnaire was applied to students who completed supervised internship courses until 2024. To construct the theoretical framework, authors such as Pimenta and Lima (2010), Ventorim (2010), Souza (2012) and others were used, in addition to consulting official documents, such as Law No. 11,788/2008 (Internship Law) and the National Curricular Guidelines for the Pedagogy Course, to support the analysis and contextualize the research. The results revealed a series of challenges faced by students, such as the difficulty in reconciling internship and work, as well as other academic responsibilities, the lack of resources and institutional support at times, and the complexity of articulating theory and practice during the internship. On the other hand, the research also highlighted positive aspects, such as the strengthening of teaching identity.
