O ideal e o real nos estágios curriculares supervisionados na UFJF

Abstract

The present dissertation aims to investigate the current characteristics of the supervised curricular internship, as well as the impacts which occurred at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, after the enactment of the law number 11.788 of September 25th, 2008. Such law brought several new guidelines to the management of supervised curricular internships, both to the teaching institutions and to the grantor organizations. Thus, we aim to study which is the best conception of internship, which may adapt itself to the reality of the courses selected to the study, which were the structures and documents implemented to address the current legislation, as well as to diagnose which are obstacles that stand in the way of operationalizing the supervised internship within the institution. From the diagnosis we propose actions to systematize the supervised internship at UFJF. Four courses were selected: Civil Engineering, Liberal Arts, Pedagogy and Nursing, through which the case study will be analyzed. Such choice was made based on the necessity of encompassing one course of each of the major areas of knowledge, that is, Exact Sciences, Human Sciences and Biological Sciences. The Pedagogy course was chosen since the School of Education manages all the internships to the teachers in training and possesses a structure articulated with the other academic units. Therefore, our goal is to ascertain how these courses were structured to address the specificities of their formation and how the accountability and supervision oversight is distributed, articulating the dichotomy: the ideal and the real supervised internship. The study is of qualitative nature and is a case study that initially utilizes a theoretical review, documental analysis, observations by the researcher, as well as semi-structured interviews with those who contributed to elucidating the topic: course coordinators, internship coordinators, managers and supervising professors of internship disciplines.
