THE ECHOING OF THE VOICES OF MANDATORY SUPERVISED INTERNSHIP TEACHERS OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES: the story no one tells you
Internship teacher, biological Sciences, life history, Mandatory Supervised Internship
Life stories allow you to get information on the subjective essence of a person's life. The time has come to bring the guiding teacher to the discussion and understanding that he is someone who speaks, intensifying the interest in knowing how he talks and what he talks about. The main objective of this research was: To identify how the teachers of Supervised Internship of Licentiate in Biological Sciences, were constituting teachers of ESO from their life stories. This research had the participation of three teachers of Mandatory Supervised Internship of the Licentiate Course in Biological Sciences of a public university in the State of Pernambuco. For data collection we adopted Atkinson's (1998) life history method and as collection instruments we used the life history interview. The interviews were structured in four blocks, carried out virtually, through the Google Meet platform, on pre-scheduled days and times. To appreciate the results found, we used the content analysis technique of Bardin (2011). Analysis carried out in the interviews resulted in six categories: Family Environment, Educational Environment, Personal and Professional Trajectory, Professional Environment, ESO in the Pandemic and the Mandatory Supervised Internship. The family had a great importance and contribution to his formation throughout his life. They talked about being a woman and being a professional, in addition to the difficulties of reconciling marriage with a profession. In their Educational Environment came the references of “good” and “bad” teachers, their involvement with biology, the challenge of their first degree, none of them had a degree as their first degree. In Higher Education, other good references and partnerships were beginning to be established. In their personal and professional trajectories, we discover the hopes that move them forward on the journey at ESOs, in addition to the transformative experiences they have lived, such as being more autonomous, living the pandemic. Regarding their professional side, the first teaching experiences for some were with English classes and for others reinforcement classes, their classmates. Being a teacher is, even though they are overloaded with activities, they continue to move forward because of the love they have for the profession. When they reflected on what changes they would make at the beginning of their careers, we have as an example, being calmer, believing that to be positive, you don't need to be naive and only with the framework and what you want, you would be a good teacher. In addition, we have your personal and professional self, which no matter how much you try to separate, they know that separation is impossible, they are connected to each other, what they need is to establish a balance between the two people. ESO, in the pandemic, was a great learning moment, it was a period of a lot of adaptation, such as the difficult task of adapting your home to the professional environment, overcoming adapting 10 semesters of classes in 10 weeks, with PLE, the difficulties of online classes and how to keep the students' cameras open, in synchronous moments, 2020 and 2021 were really not easy for the internship teachers. As for the ESOs, being an internship teacher is knowing how to deal with and like people, the component that goes beyond professional training, there is the training side of people, it is contributing to the training of teachers. Looking at the life stories of the three teachers made us realize that walking along the path of life, each step, each choice, each decision they took led them to where they are today, made it possible to be Supervised Internship teachers, qualified and full of humanity.
