Estágios supervisionados em educação física em modalidade remota: relato de experiência

Abstract

The present work proposes to report the experience in the four levels of supervised internships in physical education at UFRN, as well as the adjustments in practical activities, resulting from remote teaching, due to the suspension of face-to-face activities as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The supervised curricular internship has a formative character, proposing activities that aim at the interaction of theoretically acquired knowledge with the practical environment of the profession, providing real conditions for observation, intervention and future performance. Technological means supported the feasibility of internship activities and continuity of the academic calendar, however the connection between theory and practice exposed weaknesses, since the virtual environment tends to hinder, among other aspects, social interactions. The period that comprised the internships was from 2020.1 to 2021.2. The activities carried out in the period were planned considering the limitations of the moment, using descriptive reports as an evaluation and payment tool. Activities were carried out to observe professional performance and survey the strategies created in order to maintain the services provided, participation in the university's scientific bases and organization of lectures, working on skills such as articulation and organization of events, creativity and overcoming. However, given the urgency to continue with academic activities, the teaching entities experienced adverse moments, especially with regard to the bureaucratic part for carrying out the internships, in addition to the scarcity of places available to receive interns in remote format. Despite the challenges, the pedagogical commitment in the teaching-learning process took place in a satisfactory way, and more work in this direction needs to be carried out, in order to improve the experience of internships in a virtual environment, favoring reflections that broaden the vision on the part of those involved, with a view to improving its execution, if there is a need for this type of education in the future.
