A relação entre os sujeitos envolvidos no processo formativo dos estudantes estagiários do curso técnico integrado em Química no Câmpus Uruaçu do Instituto Federal de Goiás

Abstract

The work investigates the importance of the relationship between the subjects involved in the training process of intern students of the Integrated Technical Course in Chemistry. The research field is the Uruaçu Campus of the Federal Institute of Goiás, IFG. The research is linked to the Professional Master's Program in Professional and Technological Education offered at IFG Anápolis Campus. This work is part of the research line Educational Practices in Vocational and Technological Education (EPT) and in the macro-project Educational Practices in the Integrated Curriculum. As a starting point for the present investigation, the following question was formulated: what is the importance of the relationship between the subjects involved in the training process of intern students of the Integrated Technical Course in Chemistry? The choice of object stems from the need to observe the internship as a locus of articulation between theory and practice and, in the course in question, the internship takes place in the laboratory under the supervision of the technician and the monitoring of the guiding professor. Due to the student journey that has taken place so far, in the pedagogical proposal that reflects the inseparability between theory and practice, the expectation is that the internship is articulated with the other specific disciplines of the course and not as an autonomous stage. The proposed methodology is based on an exploratory qualitative perspective. The research subjects are the graduate intern, the internship supervisor, the course coordinator, the guiding professor, the manager of Gepex (Research, Graduate and Extension Management) and the internship coordinator. The research stages were carried out through a bibliographic survey, with theoretical support from authors such as Alves (2007), Ciavatta (2012, 2014), Frigotto (2007, 2009, 2012), Kuenzer (2007), Moll et al. (2010), Metz and Pienta (2011), Pimenta and Lima (2011), Ramos (2005, 2014) and Rays (2012), among others. The field research for data collection was carried out through the application of a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire and the analysis of the data obtained was carried out through reading, description, and categorization. The group of students who participated in the research comprises 15 (fifteen) graduate interns who performed the internship in the institution's Chemistry laboratories between the years 2012 to 2019. The questionnaire was applied to this group of graduates and to the mentoring professor of the internship. A semi-structured interview was applied to the other participants, Gepex manager, internship supervisor and course coordinators and the internship sector. Data analysis was subdivided into 5 (five) categories, as follows: Internship; Relation between theory and practice; Relationship between the subjects of the internship, Experience and professional experience in the internship and the Importance of the Chemistry laboratory. The importance of the internship is verified, as a stage experienced in the Chemistry laboratory, which can provide professional experience and the relationship between theory and practice. It is highlighted the need to strengthen the relationship and follow-up of the internship, mainly through the supervisor and the guiding teacher, together with the interns for this stage to be successful. Finally, this work presents the proposition of an educational product, the Internship Manual, addressing the subjects' attributions, the main objectives, and a script of activities of the internship offered in the Chemistry laboratories of the researched institution.
