ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT: AN INVESTIGATION WITH PHYSICS STUDENTS ON THE USE OF INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES IN THE SUPERVISED INTERNSHIP

Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the engagement of students in the use of innovative teaching practices, through the analysis of the reports of mandatory curricular internship of the undergraduate course in physics at the Alberto Carvalho campus in Itabaiana, Sergipe. For this, the methodology used is characterized by an exploratory research of qualitative nature, with a bibliographic and documentary research approach. As a result, it was possible to identify the predominance of the traditional teaching method as the main methodology, because the trainees consider that this method helps more in emotional control and facilitates time management, directing more dedication to the studies, they also exposed that, the main difficulty in using innovative methodologies is related to the willingness of time to prepare the classes, and not with the lack of skills needed to acquire a higher quality material. In this way, we can see evidence of the need for the internship as an object of constant investigation and, from a pedagogical reflexive analysis, the need to seek in the student the elements that make up a teacher, since the internship is configured in an important moment of approach between the future teaching professional and the school. Many situations favor academic engagement, allowing several behavioral, cognitive, emotional and social knowledges, but when performing activities involving participative observation and regency devoid of an investigative goal, it can put the trainee in an undesirable position and lead the student to disengage.
