Abstract

We present an exploratory qualitative investigation into the teaching internship completed by a student on an Academic Program in Chemistry Teacher Education. We carried out content analysis of texts produced by the intern, such as field diary and final report. We identified the mobilization of experiential knowledge, pedagogical tradition and pedagogical action, as well as the student’s involvement in situations related to the relational, academic, professional and strategic aspects inherent to teaching. Such elements were analyzed through observation of the school space, development of class management and the shared and written record of experiences. The results also highlight essential characteristics of the tripod that must support the teacher education processes, encompassing the following agents: the university, enabling attentive/participatory teaching guidance, as well as having a sensitive and humanized academic organization, compatible with the sociocultural profile of the students; the school space that is the field of the teaching internship, with its physical structure, pedagogical resources and trained personnel to receive/collaborate with undergraduate students; and the profile to be taken on by the intern, being open to the study of theoretical references, immersion in challenging experiences and the investigative/dialogical nature of the movements underlying the process of becoming being a teacher.

Keywords: Teacher education. Teaching internship. Wisdom of teacher work.
