Dificuldades e percepções dos acadêmicos da licenciatura em educação física sobre o estágio curricular

Abstract

This research aimed to verify the perceptions of undergraduates in Physical Education (PE) at the Federal University of Sergipe about the role of the Supervised Internship in the initial training of future teachers, identifying the difficulties encountered, their evaluations about the organization and pedagogical preparation, the contributions provided during the performance and suggestions for improving educational practice. This is a qualitative descriptive research. The mixed questionnaire was used as an instrument for data production. The research had the collaboration of seventeen academics from the PE degree course. Analyzing the data, we found that the main difficulties during the internship concern the precarious material condition of the schools and the fragile pedagogical preparation to deal with the students. About the formative contributions provided by the internship, the academics pointed out the opportunity to know the daily school life as the most significant. Academics recognize that the course values ??teacher training, but it has weaknesses in the curriculum organization that need to be overcome to provide better academic support throughout the training process. As for the suggestions, the academics pointed out the need for greater dialogue between the curricular subjects so that the difficulties are discussed, aiming to improve teacher education.
