Abstract

The central theme of this paper is the supervised internship and teacher training. It is entitled “The supervised internship and teacher training in the pedagogy course at UESPI, in Piripiri-PI: contributions, tensions and challenges”. The main aim of this research was to investigate how the supervised internship contributes to teacher training in the Pedagogy course at UESPI in Piripiri, considering the tensions and challenges faced during this experience. The methodology used consisted of theoretical research, through bibliographical reviews, and field research, with semi-structured interviews. The results of the research showed that although the internship is a time of great learning and discovery, it also presents a number of challenges that impact on teacher training. The main challenges identified include the resistance of supervising teachers to trusting trainees, the difficulty in managing class time and the need to master the classroom. As for the impact of the challenges on their professional training, the students reported that their experiences during the supervised internship contributed significantly to the construction of their teaching identity. They highlighted the importance of the internship for the practical application of the theoretical knowledge acquired, as well as for the development of skills and competencies essential to teaching. As its main contributions, this research provides an opportunity to rethink the organization and monitoring of supervised internships, with a view to minimizing the challenges faced by students and enhancing the positive aspects of this training experience.
