Teacher Internship:
The Professional Master's Degree in Education Postgraduate Program is aimed at education professionals who are in effective exercise in Basic Education schools, in Education departments and also technicians and teachers who work in higher education institutions, based on theoretical- methodologies that value professional experience and the articulation between theory and practice.
The fact that the PPGMPE articulates a training process with Education professionals in effective professional practice and that the master's students are partially released and their workplaces favor the composition of another logic of internship in teaching: the activities are carried out in the spaces where master's students work, being accompanied by their respective advisors.
With that, articulation of the theories consolidated in the course of classes/guidelines with the pedagogical work experienced in their workplaces is constant. The space-times and orientation also promote the articulation between the theoretical debates unleashed in the classes, the research projects of the master's students, the composition of the products and new perspectives of action in their workplaces. Thus, the articulation between theory and practice is permanent.
In 2017, we had the first group of master's students from the PPGMPE and all of them carry out professional activities in Departments of Education, Municipal Councils of Education and teaching, pedagogical coordination and school management in units of Early Childhood Education, Elementary and High School. We also have master's students who are administrative technicians in Basic Education and Higher Education. In this way, the “internship activities” are permanent, considering that master's students are not absent from their workplaces, constantly promoting the articulation between theory and practice.
Bearing in mind that the preparation of dissertations and products maintains a fruitful dialogue with the issues present in the workplaces where the master's students work, the PPGMPE advisors have closely followed the activities of these subjects, as well as inserting themselves in the space-times in that they act, composing, in a way, monitoring/intervention processes in the students' work locus.
