Uma pesquisa sobre a importância do estágio extracurricular (não supervisionado/ não obrigatório) para a formação profissional dos estudantes do curso de Ciências Contábeis da UFPB

Abstract

The extracurricular internship in Accounting Sciences aims to assist students in the practice of activities specific to the accountant profession, awakening these graduates to the demands of the labor market. The research intends to analyze the collaboration of this activity in the professional life of these students. The study qualifies as descriptive, the field survey being applied as a technical procedure, with the collection of data obtained through the application of two questionnaire questionnaires, classified in different ways. The first sought to determine the profile of the interviewees, while the second sought to measure the perceptions of each of them about the activities carried out in their respective stages. Issues related to various aspects of the practice of the internship were discussed, such as: whether the subjects addressed in the classroom were sufficient to carry out routine activities in the company to which they are interning, or whether obstacles were encountered in the performance of their duties. The second questionnaire was created in a way that made it possible to use the Likert scale for data analysis. The sample consisted of 81 students, of whom 31 were from the 5th to the 7th period of the morning, and 50 from the 5th to the 9th period of the evening of the Accounting Sciences course at UFPB. The Study showed that, in general, the respondents consider that the activities carried out cooperate significantly for their professional growth, even when students claim to have encountered certain difficulties in relating the subjects treated in the classroom with the activities carried out on the day to day. However, it was possible to confirm that the students agreed that the internship expanded their views on the functioning of business organizations on the accounting aspect, which was considered important, since it improves the quality of the professional who is about to be inserted in the labor market.
