The importance of the PIBID project in the training of teachers and undergraduates

With the aim of bringing basic education and initial and continuing teacher training closer together, the CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) instituted the PIBID (Teaching Initiation Scholarship Program) in 2007. The program is proving to be of great importance in understanding the meaning of the educational process for teachers in training. At the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Norte - IFRN/Campus Apodi, the program is being developed in two state schools. The qualitative evaluation of the project seeks to establish the program's real contributions to the continuing education of the supervising teachers, as well as the initial education of the Chemistry undergraduate students. The analysis was carried out through interviews with participants, as well as the application of questionnaires that met the demands proposed by the work. The program broadens discussions about educational concepts in teacher training and seeks to improve the quality of teaching and learning by disseminating the activities developed in the program to the academic and scientific community.
