The pedagogical residency program

A possibility for the formation of organic intellectuals linked to the working class

Abstract

The article aims to problematize the weaknesses and potentialities of the Pedagogical Residency Program, computing area, of a public institution in the southern region of the country, in order to provide a space that contributes to the training of undergraduate students, with the aim that these subjects constitute themselves as organic intellectuals linked to the class that lives from work. The methodological, theoretical framework adopted was historical and dialectical materialism. The empirically based, qualitative research was carried out with undergraduate students, as residents of the Program, inserted in a municipal school, as a field school. The research corpus was built from the investigative movements carried out with the residents: questionnaire and focus group, as well as the analysis of course documents and advisors. Discursive Textual Analysis was used to analyze the corpus, allowing the unity of theory and practice to emerge from the corpus as a macro category. As a way of cutting, the Awareness category will be treated from the subcategories Immersion in School-Field and Criticality.
