CONCEPTION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND ANALYSIS OF A SUPPORT DEVICE FOR PRE-SERVICE TEACHER TRAINING AS PART OF A COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH

ABSTRACT:

The article presents the results of a collaborative research that aimed to create and analyze devices used on the joined support (involving the university and school) of supervised pre-service teacher training of Pedagogy students. The research involved different actors of the training, in a total of 43 participant, including the following categories: elementary teachers (called partner teachers), pedagogical coordinators, school principal and vice-principal, in-training undergraduate students, and the professor in charge of the training. Through the analysis of documents, observation of the training process, and focal groups with participants, we created two support devices to trainees and partner teachers. The devices were analyzed based on the model of Albero (2010) which follows three dimensions: ideal; operational; and experienced. We concluded that the devices implemented during training significantly contributed to its organization and the support of trainees, valuing the role of the schoolteacher in the training process, and favoring the creation of teaching dispositions in trainees. The limits found on the use of the devices refer to the development of reflection and the analysis of the practices by the trainees.
