Implicações e perspectivas dos licenciandos do IFPI - campus Teresina Central - para a carreira docente

Abstract

The training of Chemistry teachers in Brazil has historically been based on aspects of fragility and dissociation of sabers to teaching practice, in addition, there was a rapid pedagogical training in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). It can be seen, therefore, that historically the Degree in Chemistry is marked by many times being a bachelor's degree due to an omission in pedagogical training. Currently, in order for this situation to be solved, both the Institutional Teaching Initiation Program (PIBID) and the Pedagogical Residence (RP) have been inserted in the initial teacher training. In summary, at the IFPI Campus Teresina Central, these strategies were adopted in order to promote the permanence of these students in the teaching career through the experience of undergraduate students in Chemistry in the future work environment. In this context, this course conclusion work (TCC) was developed with the general objective: to highlight the motivations of undergraduate Chemistry students at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí (IFPI) - Campus Teresina Central, for the teaching career , its implications and perspectives, and as specific objectives: to identify the reasons that lead students to enter and remain in the course, to understand the expectations of undergraduate students for their teaching career and to analyze the existing difficulties for the permanence and success of future Chemistry teachers. Quanti-qualitative data were used as a methodological path, the research tool being used a closed questionnaire, which was made available to students regularly enrolled and who were attending the course. From the data analyzed and discussed in the light of the theoretical framework described in the literature, it was realized that in the discussion about teacher education in Chemistry at the IFPI, Campus Teresina Central, the course graduates present challenges and multifaceted perspectives in their training path, who contributed to the demotivation to continue the teaching career. Therefore, the IFPI, Campus Teresina Central, in addition to offering the PIBID and RP programs, also provides its students with various assistance programs and paid monitoring grants. It is also inferred that, for this, it is essential to promote consistent educational policies to undergraduates that will encourage them to pursue their careers as well as conclude the teaching training course.
