Fluxo informacional do acompanhamento do estágio supervisionado não obrigatório no curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

The non-compulsory supervised internship is an activity that is part of the professional training of many graduate students and requires the accompaniment of the guider teacher the educational institution. The information from this accompaniment can be used for decisions within the course. From the observation of little information accessible in the coordination of the course of presential Pedagogy with the accompaniment of this activity, it was intended, in this research, to establish an informational flow of accompaniment of the non-compulsory supervised internship, inserted in the context of an Information Policy. For this, the specific objectives were defined: characterize non-compulsory internship guider teachers, describe how guider teachers perform the follow-up flow stages of the noncompulsory internship and identify, with interviewed, elements of improvement for the flow of information in the context of an information policy. It is an applied research, with qualitative approach and classified as descriptive. The method of investigation adopted was the structuralist, starting from an existing phenomenon, which is the follow-up of the non-compulsory internship, with the pretension of constructing a model based on the subjects' own experiences and perspectives, and which can be concretely applied. The subjects of the study were guider teachers of the Pedagogy course, supervisors of granting institutions and students with non-compulsory internship experience, defined by non-probabilistic sampling, for convenience. As data collection technique a semi-structured interview was adopted. The data collected with the accomplishment of 31 interviews were analyzed based on Content Analysis, reaching eight final categories. The research confirmed the need for a new information flow model to meet all the information needs of the guider teachers. Thus, a proposal for the flow of information of the follow-up of the non-compulsory intership, based on the Beal (2004) model, was elaborated. This flow is suggested as part of a resolution, inserted, therefore, into an Information Policy instrument, for implementation in the coordination of the course.
