O impacto do PIBID: Educação Física na trajetória formativa dos alunos bolsistas e na prática pedagógica de professores supervisores

Abstract

This study aimed at analyzing the impact of the PIBID on the initial training and pedagogic practice of future Physical Education teachers-supervisors. The PIBID is an educational public policy that encourages teacher training. The PIBID links public and private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), both profit and non-profit, that offer degree courses with basic education schools of the public school system. In this context, the PIBID has been promoting the inclusion of undergraduates in primary education schools in order to provide them with opportunities to experiment and create innovative and interdisciplinary methodologies and practices under the guidance of an advisor and a teacher from a school accredited to the program. This was a qualitative, descriptive and explanatory research in which a structured interview was used as the instrument for data collection. Twenty-two undergraduate students and four teachers-supervisors of the accredited schools that comprised the subproject Physical Education/PIBID-UFPI were selected for this research. The results showed that the actions of the Institutional Project PIBID-UFPI have produced a positive impact on initial training of the fellow undergraduate students. The program helped the students to: understand the role of being a teacher; expand the vision they had of a school functioning; and to understand the surroundings complexity of the relationship between teacher and student as well as to become aware of professional identity and personal and professional development. The results also indicate that the PIBID has fostered impactful changes in pedagogical practice of teachers and supervisors, as insertion in PIBID provided teachers with a fresh look at their teaching practice in which they were able to improve knowledge of their area of expertise, experiment innovative methodological proposals and, consequently, improve the teaching-learning process. Therefore, the PIBID bridged the gap between university and public schools of Piauí, building meaningful learning strategies for those involved (teachers and future teachers in public schools), leading participants to develop new knowledge and actions.
