AS APRENDIZAGENS DA DOCÊNCIA DOS LICENCIANDOS EM CIÊNCIAS BIOLÓGICAS NO PROGRAMA RESIDÊNCIA PEDAGÓGICA DO IF GOIANO

Abstract

Teacher training within undergraduate teacher education programs has gained prominence in contemporary educational discussions. In the pursuit of improved teaching quality, strategies have been developed to enhance training processes. Notable among these is the Pedagogical Residency Program (PRP), coordinated by CAPES, which offers pre-service teachers a deeper experience of the school environment. At the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Goiano – Rio Verde Campus, the program involves residents from the Biological Sciences and Chemistry teacher education programs. This research aimed to identify the learning outcomes achieved by pre-service teachers during their participation in the PRP, focusing on the program's contributions to their training and teaching practice. The results demonstrate that immersion in the school and classroom fostered significant professional learning, particularly regarding the expansion of the residents' critical and reflective understanding of the challenges and possibilities of daily school life. Furthermore, the experience provided by the program not only contributed to the development of teaching knowledge but also strengthened the students' desire to pursue a teaching career. Thus, this immersion was perceived as a valuable opportunity to bring pre-service teachers closer to the reality of the teaching profession and to inspire them to commit to basic education.
