Implementação da prática de estágio supervisionado: expressão da fé popular no Centro Cultural São Francisco

Abstract

This article is the result of a study carried out at Centro Cultural São Francisco to analyze the importance of Religious Sciences professionals in the sociocultural environment of popular art exhibitions. The work was developed as an activity for students of the undergraduate course in Religious Sciences at the Federal University of Paraíba in João Pessoa - PB. The general objective of the research was to analyze the contribution of students from the Science of Religions course in the exhibition project focused on the theme “Sacred and the Expression of Popular Faith, the Ex-Voto”. Through a literary review, by the writers: Emile Durkheim, Goldenberg, Augusto Comte, among others, where it was possible to establish a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory approach, analyzing the importance of the intern's participation in the institution. To achieve this, the study included a review of the literature in books, articles, specialized websites, as well as reports of scientific research, seeking to expand the reality evidenced in the field. The technique used to describe the results was based on the analysis of reports from field activities, establishing a cross-reference with the literary review. The analyzes carried out contributed significantly to the improvement and practical experience of the students, making it possible to understand that the internship is a way of learning by doing, developing skills and improving practice with theory. It was observed that, throughout the academic period, there was a need to make some adaptations to the institution's programming. It was stipulated that in order to meet the deadline for the release of financial resources by the Federal Government, the Technical Descriptive Memorial of the Project would be passed on to the Cultural Center's staff team. As a suggestion, if the institution wishes to maintain the exhibition of ex-votos on a periodic basis, it could align the intern's workload with the expository practice, optimizing the use of the intern's time and enabling future students to monitor the exhibition activities and data collection, based on survey forms with information on the level of satisfaction of the public involved.
