Experience of internship in non-school space: difficulties of the Education by Alternation in bachelor's degrees in Field Education

Abstract

This article aims to describe and analyze the experience of a supervised curricular internship carried out in a non-school educational space, that is, at the Regional Institute of Small Appropriate Agriculture (IRPAA), located in the north of the state of Bahia, a non-governmental organization and social that works with the proposal of Living with the Semi-Arid, in the construction of a better society to live. Discusses the relevance of internship experiences for the training of field educators who work with the Alternation Pedagogy in Agricultural Family School (EFA). The “Systematization of Experiences” was the methodology adopted for the process of describing and analyzing the experiences in the Internship. As a result, we point out the importance of the internship for teacher training, which becomes more meaningful and emancipatory, provided that the theory and practice unit is taken into account. For this reason, it must be linked with research and articulated with the set of curricular components carried out throughout the course of training. Anyway, this work raises questions that challenge the practice and understanding of the Internship in the Degree Course in Field Education - Agricultural Sciences area (LECCA), held at the Federal Institute of Science and Technology of the South of Minas, Campus Inconfidentes / MG.
