PEDAGOGICAL RESIDENCE AND TEACHER TRAINING: ESTABLISHING CONNECTIONS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PRECEPTORS

Abstract

The Pedagogical Residency Program (PRP) presents itself as an initiative of significant importance in the initial training of teachers, by providing living situations and teaching practices focused on school teaching, in basic education. This work deals with an investigation whose central objective was to outline the development of actions linked to the Pedagogical Residency Program (PRP), from the perspective of 3 (three) preceptor teachers who are part of the José de Alencar pole, Mathematics subproject, in the city of Santarém, state of Pará. The experience report based on participant observation, based on the narratives of preceptor teachers, was the methodological guideline for the information presented. The results show a bidirectional equivalence relationship between learning and formative teachings, necessary for residents, based on experiences and actions developed in collaboration with preceptors. In contrast, we identified a movement of teaching and learning from residents to preceptors, taking into account the coexistence between generations of trained teachers and the contemporary knowledge of undergraduates, acquired due to the knowledge of academia and contemporary culture more generally. We conclude that, in our point of view, the development of the actions carried out by the PRP is not only aimed at initial training, but also, being a type of continuous training, for preceptors.
