Abstract

The Physical Education (PE) course is full of challenges, from passing all the subjects offered with excellence to the first contacts with the field of activity. The main objective of our study is to analyze the perception of undergraduate Physical Education students of the supervised curricular internship in sports and a professional soccer club in Ceará. This is a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study. The location of the internship was the Ceará S.C. Training Center in Porangabussu. The participants in the research were students on the bachelor's degree PE course who did their supervised internship in sports, within the Total Football Project, at the Ceará S.C. training center in Porangabussu. A questionnaire with open questions was used to collect the data. Bardin's (2011) content analysis technique was used to process the data. The following results were found: All the students perceived contributions coming from the Supervised Internship in Sports at the Ceará Sporting Club club; in contradiction to other works in the literature researched, all the participants reported on contributions from the Supervised Internship in Sports; responses were obtained about the Integrated Academic Activities Management System tool, aimed at facilitating the processes of registering compulsory and non-compulsory internships; a greater number of visits to the site by the internship supervisor was also reported; the internship provided students with greater knowledge of the area and its possibilities for professional intervention; the need for a longer internship period was also a point raised; the participants in the survey reported that it was possible to see the relationship between theory and practice in the internship; the Total Football Project (TFP) was also reported, had a major contribution to the success of the Supervised Internship in Sports. In conclusion, we characterize the Supervised Curricular Internship (ECS), and more specifically the Supervised Internship in Sports (ESE), as an essential tool in the professional training of Physical Education students, since through it the student will have direct contact with their area of activity and a glimpse of the possibilities of work.
