O ESTÁGIO EM DOCÊNCIA NA PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO: UM RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA DURANTE A DISCIPLINA DE BOTÂNICA
Abstract
The Amazon Forest is a living laboratory that makes it possible for teachers and researchers to carry out different theoretical and practical classes to students, providing the construction of empirical knowledge in Science, facilitating teaching and learning, so this work aimed to present the aspects related to the supervised internship in undergraduate courses in Agronomic Engineering and Degree in Sciences: Biology and Chemistry, pointing out the relevance in teacher education, demonstrating the importance of building exsiccates in the botanical context, for this it was necessary the theoretical class addressing the didactic and scientific collections, emphasizing the concepts of morphology, taxonomy, physiology and ecology, as well as practice in making sausages. This work is an experience report that was developed with 35 academics from the aforementioned courses at the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM), Humaitá-AM campuses. During the methodology, participant observation, field diary was used and these were analyzed from the reports and perspectives of the students participating in the classes. It was found that eight exsiccates of vegetable species in the stage of fruiting and flowering were collected and made, these being native, invasive and endemic to the region, which were classified and identified according to the literature. During the practical classes, the students were able to apply the previous and previously acquired theoretical knowledge, and this enabled the teaching process to establish their own perceptions of how environmental, biological and ecological interactions can be experienced, being integrated into more dynamic classes. Therefore, the teaching internship is a unique experience for those who never worked as teachers in undergraduate courses and is a way of improving the practice by expanding their professional horizons in context with the reality of the students.
