A percepção dos estudantes de Licenciatura em Química do CCEN-UFPB acerca da influência do PIBID na formação de novos professores

Abstract

The Institutional Scholarship Program for Teaching Initiation (PIBID) plays a fundamental role in teacher education by providing undergraduate students with practical classroom experiences before completing their degrees. This study aims to understand the importance of PIBID in the training of Chemistry teachers at the CCEN/UFPB. The research was conducted using a mixedmethods approach, with empirical data collection through questionnaires distributed via Google Forms and experience reports from students who are or have already participated in the program. The Work involved the examination of articles, legislation, and guidelines related to teacher education and the PIBID program, in order to provide a theoretical foundation for the investigation. The target audience of the research consisted of undergraduate Chemistry students from the Center for Exact and Natural Sciences (CCEN) at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) who actively participated in PIBID between the 2019 and 2025 editions. The sample included students who voluntarily agreed to take part in the study, reflecting the diversity of experiences within the program. The results indicate that PIBID significantly contributes to the enhancement of teacher education programs by allowing students to better integrate theory and practice, while also promoting the interrelation between pedagogical disciplines and specific subject content. Furthermore, participation in the program was observed to have a positive influence on students' retention in the course, broadening their perspective on teaching and improving their understanding of the teaching-learning process. It is concluded that PIBID is an essential initiative for teacher training, impacting both the undergraduate students and the quality of education in participating schools.
