Professores em formação inicial no gênero relatório de estágio supervisionado: um estudo em licenciaturas paraenses

Abstract

This dissertation aims to investigate self-representations of teachers in initial graduation which are named as master-students in Reports of Supervised Internship (RSI). For this reason we analyzed how the self-representations reflect the writing of reports which we refer to as professional reflexive writing because it is a kind of language used to report critically and reflexively questions about professional world of the master-students. The corpus of this investigation is consisted by 42 (forty-two) internship reports wrote by undergraduate students at the end of the Supervised Internship subjects in the Letters Faculty – Portuguese Language, Pedagogy and Mathematics. These courses are offered by a public university located in the southeast of Pará situated in the north of Brazil. The reports which are the corpus of this research were produced between 2010 and 2012 at the end of Supervised Internship II (Arts Faculty), Teaching Practice II (Mathematics) and Supervised Internship in Childhood Education (Pedagogy) subjects which focus the regency period in classroom at Basic Education schools. We believe the internship report’s writing is an import instrument of semiotizating the experience in the complex academic context of practice, although, it has been a quite peculiar kind of textual production in comparison to other genres produced in academy. Our investigation is documentary due the fact we analyze internship reports which are important documents concerned to particularities of Supervised Internship subject. In several cases, the university seems to ignore the documentary character of this genre giving to it only a bureaucratic profile. For data analyses we choose a qualitative approach which is developed in four categories of analyses. This investigation is concerned within the field of interdisciplinary studies of Applied Linguistics (AL). We chose Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as the main theoretical and methodological contribution, especially on the ideational and textual metafunction. The first comprehends the sentence as an element representing world itself. And the second understands the sentence as a message. Looking for taking a more interdisciplinary position, we also propose a joint with Literacy Studies, specifically Linguistic Literacy and Teacher Literacy. Furthermore, we also try to dialogue with Sociology intending to problematize and characterize the unstable relationship between the social actors who interact in the classroom. Finally, our interdisciplinary movement tries to dialogue with the knowledge of Education, because this area of research is reference in studies that problematize the notion of Supervised Interniship. The results showed an incipient reflexive writing in which the descriptive/narrative writing seems to predominate rather than critic and consistent reflections involved in the pedagogy practice during the regency. We believe that this research can contribute to the master-students literacy especially whose from the complex academic context of Pará as well as to the group researchers of the Project: Practicing Language in Supervised Internships – LPSI (UFT/CNPq).
