Programa Institucional de Iniciação Científica e de Desenvolvimento Tecnológico do Instituto Federal Goiano: perfil, produção acadêmica e evolução dos estudantes

Abstract

The indissociability between teaching, research and extension in educational institutions in Brazil reinforces the proposal of complete formation of the student. The Federal Institute of Goiás (IF Goiano) currently has twelve campuses, developing research through Scientific Initiation Programs and Technological Development and Innovation, therefore, to understand issues beyond the quantity of students linked to the programs is essential to measure the impact of scientific research for those involved. This work aims to analyze the profile, the academic production and the evolution of students linked to the Institutional Program of Scientific Initiation and Technological Development and Innovation of IF Goiano. It is a case study of mixed approach. The following documents were analyzed in the document review: résumés registered in the Lattes Platform of the National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), Resolution n. 024/2010 of the Superior Council of the Federal Institute of Goiás, Normative Resolution n. 017/2006 of CNPq, selection edicts and administrative documents. The students and advisors who worked in the research programs during 2018 to 2019 were analyzed through the Lattes curriculum (students, n=213; advisors, n=307), questionnaire (students, n=213; advisors, n=167) and interviews (students, n=6; advisors, n=6). The quantitative data were analyzed by means of descriptive and inferential statistics, and in the interviews content analysis was done according to Bardin. Thus, the main results indicated that scientific research programs are fulfilling their role in the formation of individuals not only for academic life, but for the professional world. The students and advisors were satisfied with the experience and consider it important in the life of the student. The average academic output of repeat students in the research program was higher compared to newcomers in the variables: articles, articles in English, expanded abstract, simple abstract, books/chapters and patents. Finally, we elaborated and applied the educational product: "Practical Guide for Initiation in Scientific Research", with the objective of showing the first paths for the students who intend to enter the institutional programs, as well as for those who are already inserted, but there are some questions, as well as for those who are interested in the subject.
