O estágio na formação docente: superação do aspecto prescritivo em busca da experiência

Abstract

This work is an unfolding of a dissertation defended at Federal University of São João del-Rei. The central objective is to show how much the notion of experience is important for the development of the teaching internship, in order to make more proficient the formation of the language teacher, from a closer relationship between theory and practice, between prescribed and real. For this, we rely mainly on Jorge Larrosa Bondía’s theory (2002) to think about experience. We start from the assumption that there is now a gap between the university formation and the teacher’s field of work, which generates frustrations for the students when they go to the classroom, as well as damages for the education, that ends up not being benefit from the incessant theoretical development in the field of language and language teaching. The interviews that make up the dissertation mentioned above are an important basis for the present study. What they demonstrate about the internship is that there is a prescriptive character in them, so that the student of Language Course does not regard the regent teacher as a work partner or someone who has to contribute, but rather the one who needs to be updated. This posture is detrimental to the formation and the important partnership between university and school.
