Licenciaturas nos institutos federais: a produção acadêmica sobre o estágio supervisionado

Abstract

In the last decade, there has been a strong expansion of undergraduate courses at the Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFs) [Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (IFs)]. As the supervised practice is one of the most important curriculum components in an undergraduate course, this article presents the academic research on this topic in the IFs. The large number of IFs in Brazil has motivated us to conduct a territorial division, considering the north and northeast regions realities. The methodology consisted of a survey of papers presented at the Congresso de Pesquisa e Inovação da Rede Norte e Nordeste de Educação Tecnológica [Congress of Research and Innovation of the North and Northeast Techological Education]. We have noticed that there is a very low production on training practice in these events, leading us to conclude that this object has not aroused the proper attention of researchers from these institutions yet.
