A tese intitulada “O estágio enquanto espaço de pesquisa: caminhos a percorrer na formação docente em Geografia” trata-se de um estudo acerca do Estágio Supervisionado no curso de Licenciatura em Geografia da Universidade Federal de Alagoas – UFAL. O objetivo desse estudo é desenvolver uma proposta de estágio pautado na pesquisa e mostrar as implicações desta prática no Estágio Supervisionado em Geografia. Nesta direção, o estágio é entendido como uma etapa essencial da formação inicial docente, ou seja, um momento de reflexão e intervenção no ambiente escolar, ampliando a sua compreensão acerca da práxis docente. Este estudo possui caráter qualitativo em que a coleta dos dados foi feita mediante o acompanhamento de cinco turmas do Estágio Supervisionado em Geografia I, II, III e IV, a partir da metade do curso. No acompanhamento desses estagiários utilizou-se a produção de narrativas como principal instrumento de coleta de dados. Outros mecanismos foram as análises das entrevistas realizadas com os professores supervisores do estágio e da pesquisa-ação efetivadas no decorrer deste estudo. No total obteve-se a participação de 74 licenciandos por meio de 11 narrativas e de cinco professores supervisores mediante três entrevistas. A pesquisa-ação ocorreu em duas instituições participantes do estágio, a saber: quatro escolas públicas do município de Maceió/AL, nas quais os licenciandos realizavam seu estágio, e no Instituto de Geografia, Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente da UFAL. A pesquisa-ação desenvolvida no decorrer deste estudo foi baseada no espiral de ciclos auto-reflexivo (KEMMIS; WILKINSON, 2008), propiciando implicações positivas, como: a articulação entre a pesquisa, a reflexão e o ensino. Os dados foram analisados por meio de três categorias de análise: a formação inicial, o estágio e a pesquisa e, como referencial teórico utilizou-se notadamente das contribuições de Pimenta e Lima (2010) como orientações para a compreensão da pesquisa no estágio e na formação inicial dos licenciandos em Geografia. Os dados revelam que a pesquisa no estágio é um caminho viável e qualitativo tanto na formação inicial quanto na continuada, pois a pesquisa no estágio encontra-se baseada no movimento de ação-reflexão-ação acerca da práxis docente. Este estudo revelou ainda que o estágio enquanto espaço de pesquisa viabiliza a articulação teoria-prática, o fortalecimento da identidade docente e a formação do professor-pesquisador, apresentando-se enquanto caminho propício para a formação docente de qualidade. / The dissertation whose title is “The internship as a space for research: the paths taken in the undergraduate course of Geography” is a study on the Supervised Internship in the course of Geography at the Universidade Federal de Alagoas – UFAL. The objectives of this study are to propose a model for the internship guided by the research as well as to show the implications of this practice in the Supervised Internship in Geography. In this direction, the internship is understood as an essential phase in the initial teaching training, that is, it is a moment of reflection and intervention in the school environment, which broadens the teacher’s understanding of his/her teaching praxis. This is a qualitative-like study in which the gathering of data was done through the monitoring of five groups in Supervised Internship in Geography I, II, III and IV, from the second half of the course on. In the monitoring phase of these interns, the production of narratives was used as the main instrument for collecting data. Other mechanisms were the analysis of the interviews carried out with the teachers who supervised the interns and the research-action that were done throughout this study. In the total, we were able to have the participation of 74 undergraduate students by means of 11 narratives and of 5 supervising teachers by means of 3 interviews. The research-action took place in two participating institutions in the intern that were 4 public schools in the municipality of Maceió/AL, where the interns took their internship, and at the Instituto de Geografia, Desenvolvimento e Meio Ambiente at UFAL. The research action developed throughout this study was based on the spiral of auto-reflective cycles (KEMMIS; WILKINSON, 2008), providing positive implications such as the articulation among research, reflection and teaching. The data was analyzed by means of thee categories of analysis: the initial training, the internship and the research and, as theoretical framework, the most used contributions came from Pimenta and Lima (2010) as guidance for understanding the research in the internship and in the initial training of the Geography undergraduate students. The data showed that the research during the internship is a viable and qualitative path both in the initial training and in the continued training for the research in the internship is based on the action-reflection-action movement about the teacher’s praxis. This study has also showed that the internship as a research space enables the articulation between theory and practice, the process of construction of a teacher’s identity, and the formation of the teacher-researcher, presenting itself as a path conducive to a qualified teacher training environment.

Many forms of distance clinical supervision (DCS) have been used in the last decade, but a sparse amount of research addressing (DCS) in counselor education exists to date. The author used random and snowball sampling to survey American Counseling Association members, with a analytic sample total of 96 participants. In the sample, 54.2% of participants were licensed counseling professionals and 39.6% were student or post-masters level interns. The average participant age was 43, ranging from 23 to 74 years. Participants had a mean of 8.1 years of experience. A total of 37.5% of participants had used DCS at some point for supervision sessions. Overall, participants have a positive attitude toward DCS, agreeing most that DCS is a valid form of supervision and that they are interested in learning about DCS. Overall, participants are being minimally exposed to DCS (x̅ = 1.61). A moderate, negative relationship (r = -.39, p < .001) exists between individuals whom have used DCS and attitudes toward DCS (Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2003, p. 52). Also, a weak, negative relationship (r = -.23, p < .05) was found between individuals who have used DCS and their level of exposure to DCS. There is a limited amount of literature related to DCS and counseling professionals are being minimally exposed to distance clinical supervision. Despite limited exposure and literature, professionals are still using DCS to conduct supervision sessions. Therefore, it would seem important to increase research focused on DCS and develop relevant practices in order for DCS to be an effective form of supervision.

nÃo hà / The lack of a skills-based curriculum to guide and qualify the residents` education is a reality in several Residency programs in the country. This vulnerability has been discussed by residents, preceptors and coordination of the residency program of family and community medicine (PRMFC), which generated the need of the development of this research. This fact brings the following vulnerabilities: lack of clarity of the learning objectives, educational strategies and the evaluation to be addressed to the residents. Initially, a literature review of the competency-based curricula and a review of documents prepared by associations, societies and professional bodies were conducted. Then we conducted a teacher training course for the preceptors of the PRMFC, with discussions on the theoretical bases of the competency-based curriculum; active learning methodologies; planning and conducting educational activities and strategies; and learning evaluation. After this training, workshops were held for the development of an array of macro competencies. This work trained 12 preceptors of PRMFC and allowed the construction of an array of macro competencies. It will surely facilitate the teaching-learning process in a two-year Residency Program, evaluating the skills of the residents at the end of the course, which guarantees to society a professional able to develop its actions. With a competency-based curriculum specific designed for Family Medicine and for Primary Health Care, we wish to reorient the teaching-learning processes of residents and preceptors to qualify clinical practice. / A falta de um currÃculo baseado em competÃncias para nortear e qualificar o ensino dos residentes à uma realidade em vÃrios os Programas de ResidÃncia no paÃs. Esta vulnerabilidade foi problematizada por residentes, preceptores e coordenaÃÃo do Programa de ResidÃncia de Medicina de FamÃlia e Comunidade (PRMFC), o que gerou a necessidade do desenvolvimento deste estudo. Este fato traz as seguintes vulnerabilidades: falta de clareza dos objetivos de aprendizado, das estratÃgias educacionais e de avaliaÃÃo a serem abordadas. Inicialmente foi realizada uma revisÃo da literatura sobre os currÃculos baseados em competÃncia e uma anÃlise dos documentos elaborados por associaÃÃes, sociedades e entidades profissionais. Em seguida foi realizado um curso de formaÃÃo docente para os preceptores do PRMFC, com discussÃes sobre as bases teÃricas do currÃculo baseado em competÃncia; metodologias ativas de aprendizagem; planejamento e conduÃÃo de estratÃgias e atividades educacionais; e avaliaÃÃo da aprendizagem. ApÃs a capacitaÃÃo foram realizadas oficinas de desenvolvimento de uma matriz de macrocompetÃncias. Esta trabalho traz como produtos a capacitaÃÃo de 12 preceptores do PRMFC e a construÃÃo de uma matriz de macrocompetÃncias. Certamente irà para favorecer o processo de ensino-aprendizagem nos dois anos de programa, avaliando as competÃncias dos residentes no final do curso, o que garante para a sociedade um profissional apto para desenvolver as suas aÃÃes. Com um currÃculo baseado em competÃncias necessÃrias para MFC e APS desejamos reorientar os processos de ensino-aprendizagem dos residentes e preceptores para qualificar a prÃtica.

M.Ed. / Entering the profession of psychology entails participating in professional roles and tasks that deal directly with human contact and development. Therefore, practicing psychology comprises a highly personalised nature, hence the personal self of the psychologist also comes into play. The development of the professional and personal nature of the psychologist occurs during different stages of becoming a psychologist. One such stage is that of being an intern. An intern has completed the theoretical aspect of a masters in psychology course and is involved in the practical aspect of the degree. This study explores the stage of being a psychology intern. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the experiences of a particular group of psychology interns in relation to their personal self and professional self. As a result a greater understanding surrounding a particular internship experience is hoped to be achieved. The design of the study was qualitative and involved formulating a literature review. This literature review discusses the stages of professional development, tasks and roles and internship experiences. This provides the theoretical framework for this study and should enhance the understanding of the phenomenological experience of interns. Hence, the research approach and theoretical framework adopted was based on existential, phenomenological, ecosystemic and constructivistic principles. Data was collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with three psychology interns. All participants completed their internships at the same institute in South Africa. When this study began, I, the researcher was also an intern, thus I am one of the participants. Data was also gained from my own personal reflective and research journal. The literature review, together with the results of this study assist in developing an understanding around the personal self and the professional self of the intern. It is hoped that the information gained from this study will assist future interns in creating meaning for their internship experiences.

The internship is one of the most important components of doctoral training in professional psychology. Given the serious problem of the internship imbalance, applicant and program characteristics that constitute a good “fit” with internship training programs have become of greater interest as securing an internship becomes a more competitive process. This study surveyed internship applicants from programs part of the Council of University Directors of Clinical Psychology (CUDCP), before and after the 2010 and 2011 match days. Number of interview offers was found to be the factor most consistently associated with successfully matching, and several other applicant characteristics salient to matching and obtaining interview offers were identified, including applicant personality. Additionally, personal accounts, but not empirical evidence, of going unmatched have attested to the psychological distress associated with this event. in the current study, while going unmatched was not found to be equitable to a traumatic stressor, evidence was found to support significant decrease in subjective well-being with respect to immediate distress. Findings are discussed in terms of the predictability of and implications for the match process and internship imbalance, and recommendations are made for future research directions.

The purpose of this study was to examine the events, processes, perceptions and changes that occurred as an elementary school faculty and a university faculty collaborated in a partnership formed by the creation of a Professional Development Academy (PDA). The study described how an elementary school faculty and a university faculty collaborated as they implemented a PDA. Research questions were: (1) What contributing factors led to the school and university faculties' collaboration during the first three years of the pilot PDA, 1993-1996? (2) How did the school and university faculties collaborate for change during the first three years of the pilot PDA? (3) As a result of collaboration between the school and university faculties during the first three years of the pilot PDA, what changes occurred at the school and university? A descriptive case study approach was used to explore behaviors within these groups during the three pilot years of the PDA. The study included interviews, and a review of documents and artifacts. Four classroom teachers were randomly selected from the elementary school, four professors were selected from the university and two administrators: one from the school and one from the university, were interviewed. Responses from the interviewees were initially categorized into Kagan's (1991) six categories of collaboration and into three sections: before the PDA began, during the three years of the PDA, and reflections at the end of the three pilot years of the PDA. Kagan's categories for collaboration are: formation, conceptualization, development, implementation, evaluation, and termination/reformation stages. Documentation from the participants and PDA files were analyzed. Six factors were found to contribute to collaboration between faculties: a wish to know the other colleagues personally; maintenance of "we're in this together" attitude; willingness to accept additional responsibilities; investment in making the PDA work; discovery of opportunities for leadership and input; and synergy between coordinators and administrators. There was evidence that collaboration occurred because of a welcoming and supportive climate; open communication; active involvement by both faculties; validation of teachers and professors; and support for goals and recommendations. / Ed.

this investigation dealt with the problem student actors confront in making a transition from educational to professional theater due to inadequate or insufficient training. A mail survey was conducted with 110 Equity stock theaters to determine whether or not those theaters serve an internship function to offer additional training and assist the beginning actor in his transition period. The introduction considers professional attitudes toward educational theater and the subsequent need for internship. The second and third chapters discuss the construction of the mailed questionnaires and the more significant responses. The last chapter concludes from the 57.3 per cent response that Equity stock theaters constitute an important but limited source for the student actor to learn and practice the arts of the theater.
