Na prática a teoria é outra? Estágio supervisionado e formação docente: um relato de experiência no curso de geografia da UFPB

Abstract

Teacher training is supported by several pillars. One of them is, certainly, the supervised internship, commonly carried out at the end of the course and seen (by professors and students), still frequently, exclusively as the “moment of practice”, untied from theory, research and other activities. However, it is not new that the internship is discussed from a relational perspective between theory and practice, leaving aside the practicist and critical views that once prevailed. In this sense, this work consists of an experience report, supported by bibliographical research and developed from our experiences in the Supervised Internship of Teaching III, linked to the degree course in Geography at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), and whose realization took place at the Prof.ª Antonia Rangel de Farias State School of Elementary and Secondary Education in the first half of 2022. We aim to discuss the contributions of the internship to our teacher training in the light of the relationship between theory and practice and our experiences at school. We found that the experiences developed in the internship played a central role at the end of our initial training, providing not only the exercise of teaching praxis at school, but also encouraging reflection on the difficulties, limitations, problems and challenges, in the context of the geography teacher, present in the teaching-learning process in basic education.
