A disciplina de didática no processo de formação dos discentes em Secretariado Executivo da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

An Executive Secretaryship professional is able to work in several areas within companies, but it is necessary to highlight a branch in which this professional can and should work: teaching. Teaching Secretaryship has been fairly well studied, however, there are few researches on the subject Didactics in Secretaryship that analyze teaching as a perspective profession for students. This research general objective is to understand the contributions of the subject Didactics in Secretaryship to the students of Executive Secretaryship at Federal University of Ceará (UFC). Methodology was qualitative. A documentary analysis and a field research were used to collect data. Three students of the mentioned course, who have attended Didactics in Secretaryship during the previous semester, participated on the research. A survey, a documentary analysis and elements from an autobiographical narrative interview were the research techniques. Discourse analysis and interviewees’ subjectivity were used to analyze data qualitatively. Therefore, this research is qualitative and descriptive. Concerning the contributions of the subject Didactics in Secretaryship to Executive Secretaryship students from UFC, the result is: interviewees showed no interest in teaching as a perspective profession due to the lack of pedagogical basis. However, participants recognize the Didactics in Secretaryship is extremely important, in view of the fact that students interested in teaching find support and encouragement to teach and to research through the subject offered during the course.
