A percepção dos graduandos de geografia sobre o estágio supervisionado: uma reflexão sobre as expectativas e dificuldades enfrentadas na universidade

Abstract

This study's theme is supervised internships. In principle, it is important to discover what internships are and how important they are for teacher training. However, little attention has been paid to how students feel about the internship. Therefore, the question arises what perception do geography undergraduates have regarding the supervised internship? Based on this problem presented, the general objective of this study is to analyze the interns' perception of supervised internship in the Geography teacher's teacher training process and as specific objectives to describe the students' expectations related to the internship, identify the challenges experienced by the interns, report how the coordination between the training institution and the internship field school occurs. Quali-quantitative research is then carried out, with a descriptive and exploratory nature, based on the dialectical method. Given this, the majority of expectations were positive in the responses, but in practice the difficulties made it impossible for not even half of the initial expectations to be met. Even so, the internship continues to be seen by all students as extremely important for their training. Keywords: Supervised internship. Geography. Perception. Graduates
