Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The article presents a study about the practicum model of the Masters in Teaching of the University of Minho (Portugal), created with the Bologna reform. The model assigns a central role to the development of a pedagogical research project at school, which is presented in a final report defended publicly. The study involved a qualitative analysis of 40 practicum reports and a survey questionnaire to university supervisors (n=34), cooperating school teachers (n=112) and former trainees (n=133). Results are presented regarding the nature and impact of the projects and the professional competences evidenced by the reports. The participants' perceptions and the reports are globally aligned with the assumptions and action lines of the model. Nevertheless, some limitations are identified pointing to the need for improvement in training processes.
