Formação em licenciatura em dança: reflexões de acadêmicos(as) da Universidade do Estado do Amazonas sobre a estrutura curricular e o estágio supervisionado

Abstract

This research is based on a qualitative approach and turned to questions that seeks to understand the process of training the graduate in dance at the State University of Amazonas, based on the Pedagogical Project of the Course and on the perceptions of finalist students about the structure curriculum and the experience of supervised internship in schools. The training process is complex and aims to train graduates with theoretical, methodological and technical foundations, able to address current issues of artistic and scientific dance, which involves many aspects, with the supervised internship being a very important part of this process, as it allows the academic to apply the knowledge acquired in the course through the practice of artistic creation in schools. Thus, the research had an exploratory and descriptive character and was developed with six academics through semi-structured interviews. The data collected were analyzed based on the content analysis proposed by Bardin (2011) and this analysis, in which we seek to go beyond the theory and practice dichotomy and prioritize the knowledge of experience, pointed out that the interns identify some difficulties in the internship field, but specifically regarding the structure and the lack of support from the people of the schools and that, the academics understand the importance of the internship and have committed themselves to suggesting some points for the improvement of dance training, among which we highlight the need to bring the course closer to the communities as a way of disseminating more the importance of dance.
