Os programas de formação docente (PIBID e residência pedagógica) nas licenciaturas da UFPB no contexto de austeridade fiscal

Abstract

This research investigates the dynamics of scholarship offerings for the Institutional Scholarship Program for Teaching Initiation (PIBID) and the Pedagogical Residency Program (PRP) in undergraduate teaching degree programs at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), campus I. The study aims to understand how the provision of scholarships for these programs, recognized for their importance in initial teacher training, is established within the context of the fiscal regime of public spending limits on education. The central question guiding the research is: What is the influence of the context of budgetary constraints on the scholarship offerings of teacher training programs at UFPB? The research adopted a quali-quantitative approach to the data concerning scholarship offers in the different undergraduate teaching degree programs at UFPB. The program announcements were examined, seeking to identify trends of increase or decrease in the number of scholarships offered over time. The results revealed significant variations in scholarship offerings, with periods of reduction as well as recovery. The discussion of the results points to the complexity of the factors that influence scholarship offerings, including macroeconomic policies, institutional priorities, and the specific demands of each training area. It is concluded that the dynamics of scholarship offerings for the PIBID and PRP programs at UFPB reflect the tensions between the demands for quality teacher training and the restrictions imposed by fiscal austerity policies. The research highlights the importance of adequate funding for teacher training programs to ensure the quality of basic education and the valorization of the teaching career.
