Dissertação (Mestrado em Educação) - Centro de Educação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/22098This study is included in the line research Education, Curriculum and Pedagogical Practices, linked to the Graduate Program in Education of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). This is a qualitative research, where the focus of interest was to analyze the social representations of undergraduates of UFRN Course of Pedagogy regarding the educational practice. In order to reach this purpose, we use the theoretical support: the Theory of Social Representations (MOSCOVICI, 2012; 2003; JODELET, 2001), based on knowledge arising both from everyday experience, as to take back senses historically refreshed. For this purpose we use it, since our view sought achieve knowledge about the teaching practice that undergraduates have built on a daily basis. Also we make use of dialogue with prominent people who study and research about the themes: teacher training, identity and teaching knowledge, to teaching and educational practice; as references we highlight PIMENTA E LIMA (2012), PAULO FREIRE (1996), TARDIF (2000, 2013), GUIMARÃES (2006), DUBAR (1997), and NÓVOA (2009), with the purpose to understand in depth the object studied. As procedures for getting information and analysis of the wrapped data in this object, use the research tools: Technical Words Association Test (TALP), and a semi-structured questionnaire, with students enrolled in the Course of Pedagogy Classroom, UFRN, distributed in periods 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the course, students of adding two shifts, afternoon and evening, comprising a total of 209 students. The criteria for selection of these semesters as sample was due to the proposition that these represent the educational practice in a different manner, since they lived through in previous semesters experiences of pedagogical and practice type. With regard the analysis of the information earned, we use Content Analysis, Bardin (2011). We seek before the found data collection; have been able to answer our initial question: What social representations undergraduates of UFRN Course of Pedagogy share about educational practice? The study and theoretical dialogue alongside the analytical path about the arising sense of semantic fields, categories and themes showed us signs of a social representation of educational practice directed to the classroom, heavily permeated by emotional issue, theoretical and technical that it has ruled in didactic and pedagogical aspects of teaching practice: planning, transmission and evaluation. We realize also that the social representation of educational practice presents anchored on the idea that there is no teaching practice excluded from technical knowledge, experiential and area even excluded from the dialogue with the emotional, social and political, much less separate from those materializing the process of teaching and learning, teacher and student. The undergraduates embody the educational practice in the real sense of doing, doing contextualized, teaching activities committed to the teaching and learning processes.Acesso AbertoRepresentações sociaisFormação inicial de professoresSaberes docentesPrática educativamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
