Supervised internship in the early years of elementary school: challenges and learning

Abstract

The present work aims to report and reflect on the experiences that occurred during the supervised internship, of the Pedagogy course, as well as analyze how the pedagogical projects are planned and executed in the school institution. We developed the project: “Entrepreneurial education: treading sustainable and solidary paths”, proposed by a public institution in the municipality of Guanambi-Bahia. The actions carried out during the development of the project were aimed at promoting experiences related to entrepreneurship for the 5th year students of that institution. During this period, some materials were made by the students so that they could have the opportunity to experience sales and donation activities. In the development of the internship as a research, we used a field diary and carried out an interpretative analysis in dialogue with Pimenta e Lima (2006) and Nery (2007). The supervised internship was essential for us to experience and understand how the school is structured, to deal with people and to develop with them as an organization. It also made it possible to learn to apply the acquired knowledge, in a collaborative and interdisciplinary way. With this, we acquire knowledge and skills that will be extremely important not only in building our career, but also in our personal development.
