SUMMARY:

Since teacher training is one of the main indicators of quality education, and the supervised
internship in Pedagogy is an important component of this training, reflecting on the quality of
school-based practice has a direct impact on the work of both current teachers (practicing
teachers) and future pedagogues (interns), as it allows them to experience and reflect, in a
concrete and theoretical manner, on teaching, training, and learning. Given this panorama,
and based on my own experiences as a teacher, supervisor, advisor, and coordinator of
supervised internships at the Childhood Education Center, Colégio de Aplicação of the
Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, I chose the following guiding question: What are
the social representations of the participants (interns, supervising teachers, and advisors)
within the supervised internship in the Pedagogy course at NEI/CAp-UFRN? To answer this
guiding question, the thesis aimed to investigate the social representations of interns,
supervisors, and advisors involved in the supervised Pedagogy internship at UFRN’s CAp.
The Theory of Social Representations is considered in a dual perspective in this research: as a
theoretical foundation that informs our reflections, and as an analytical lens for interpreting
the empirical data.To identify and understand the social representations of the supervised
Pedagogy internship at an application school, we drew on the works of Abric (1998),
Alcantud Díaz (2021), Beltrán, Martínez and Gabaldón (2021), De Masi (2000), Farr (1994;
1998), Flament (2001), Freire (2019, 2015, 2001, 1979), Freire and Melo (2019), Jodelet
(2015, 2001), Melo (2024), Morin (2000), Moscovici (2013, 2012), Pimenta (2012, 2010),
Nóvoa (1997, 2009, 2017), the UN (2015), Schön (1997), and Tardif (2013, 2005). The
results show that the supervised Pedagogy internship at NEI-CAp is socially represented as a
thoughtful and transformative training experience, characterized by horizontal relationships
among the participants. The analysis reveals a core representation centered on the notion of
formation, mainly associated with elements such as learning, opportunity, and experience.
This constitutes a consensual and integrative social representation of the Pedagogy internship
at NEI, confirming our thesis that a different school generates a different internship.
Participants’ understanding of the distinctive aspects of the internship at a CAp included a
critical dimension, particularly in relation to the challenges and limitations encountered. The
tensions inherent in these practices may have implications for UFRN’s training program on
two fronts: legitimizing the NEI experience as valuable learning, even if atypical; and
encouraging students to extract inspiring skills and pedagogical principles, rather than
dismissing the experience as unrealistic or idealized. It was found that the internship process
is experienced as a space for the mutual construction of teacher identity, reinforcing the
importance of institutional policies that foster dialogue between the university and the school.
The research highlights the need to strengthen collaborative teaching, research, and extension
actions that consolidate the Pedagogy internship as a core element in teacher education,
reinforce NEI as a site for both initial and continuing education, and contribute to the re-
signification of other public schools as shared territories for critical, innovative, creative, and
sustainable practices.
