Experience of disciplines from the Supervised Internship Program for Teachers’ Training in graduate studies: reflection and potency in higher education

An experience in training for teaching in higher education is presented in the subjects encompassed by the Supervised Internship Program for Teacher Education. The main challenges reported by graduate students were: generational conflict; the empirical learning of the teacher’s doing; the fragile appropriation of educational concepts. The challenges faced by teachers in conducting the disciplines permeate the mediation of learning by breaking paradigms and encouraging reflection of the practice and meaningful learning. The subjects allowed, in the student evaluation, the critical analysis of their social role; the management of the educational process; the approximation of educational concepts and strategies; and changes in practice. It is hoped that this report can inspire other programs and support initiatives that consider reviewing the role of graduate studies in teacher education.
