Ambiente virtual de aprendizagem para estágios supervisionados: em um curso de Pedagogia EaD

Abstract

In initial teacher training, mandatory internships are important curricular axes in the articulation between theory and practice. However, in the degree courses offered in Distance Education (DE), internships tend to present themselves as an object of great discussion, as they involve administrative and pedagogical issues, not always understood by students. This article aims to present the results of a case study on the solutions found by a university to facilitate the orientation and supervision of internships through the virtual learning environment. The research refers to a public institution, which offers the Pedagogy course in the EaD modality in the state of São Paulo and was carried out through a non-participatory case study with document analysis and also the virtual environment analysis. In conclusion, there is a great effort on the part of the university to promote important learning in the theory and practice relationship of the supervised internship and different ways of involving students in their own learning process, developing autonomy, proactivity, self-regulation and critical thinking. However, despite the new proposal for organizing the virtual environment and efforts to develop several pedagogical resources to guide the internship, the focus of students is still on the administrative issue, to the detriment of the pedagogical one. As a recommendation, it is understood the need, throughout the course subjects, to involve students in their practical training processes. It is also recommended to carry out further studies on the subject, in this way, to continue to provide answers to this problem.
