Perception of the school community about the actions developed by the Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (Pibid) in the area of science and biology: a case study

Abstract

The Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (Pibid) was created with the main objective of promoting the teaching initiation of undergraduate students, preparing them for professional performance. The objective of this research was to analyze the perception of the school community about the actions developed by IPSTI in the Science and Biology areas. Data were collected with questionnaires applied to supervising teachers, pedagogues and basic education students in schools located in the south of Espírito Santo. The results indicated the relevance of the program’s actions in the teaching and learning process of students, which was evidenced by the three interviewed audiences. Besides to contributing to learning, IPTIS’s actions are important for the continued training of supervising teachers, promoting articulation between basic education and university. Changes in teacher practices with the participation in IPTIS were observed by the pedagogical team. In summary, IPTIS’s actions in the studied schools corroborate with the program’s objectives, contributing to the development of continued teacher training and student learning.
