THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNSHIP TRAINING IN A PEDAGOGY COURSE BY MEANS OF THE PROBLEMATIZATION METHODOLOGY

Abstract

This text is the result of an exploratory-descriptive research titled “Theory and Practice of the Problematization Methodology with Maguerez’s Arch: a process under construction”. Our aim was to analyze the application of this methodology into a curricular internship of a pedagogy course, to draw lessons from this experience as well as to extend the theoretical-practical construction as regards the Problematization Methodology. Maguerez’s Arch steps followed  - observation of reality (problem), key-points, formulation of theory, putting forward solutions and application to reality (practice). The process was evaluated taking into account the objectives of internship, the methodology characteristics and the intention to turn it into a Scientific Initiation and discussed based on the available literature. Lessons learnt relate, among other aspects, to clear orientation; competent supervision; accompaniment as a means of formative and intentional evaluation; The Problematization methodology as an alternative of effective contribution to a more attentive, analytical and critical teacher.
