Teacher Education in UFBA undergraduate courses
Initial Teacher Education; University; Teacher training.
Teacher training is one of the decisive elements for improving the educational system, since the vision of teaching professionalism underlies a given training program, both in its content and in the way it is organized. Based on this, this study aims to analyze the workload of training activities in undergraduate courses at UFBA. Based on an exploratory research of documentary type, 1,355 menus of mandatory curricular components were analyzed, distributed in the 38 curricula of undergraduate courses at UFBA, in the day and night shift in the period of April / May 2018. The results showed that with respect to components that include the pedagogical dimensions, supervised internships and pedagogical practices, whose objectives are geared towards teacher training, the courses that showed a significant workload were Pedagogy, followed by Theater, Night shift Computing, Natural Sciences and Physical Education. The course with the lowest workload in this group was the Dance of the day shift. Thus, it appears that teacher training in UFBA undergraduate courses needs revision to adapt to the new requirements of the Curriculum Guidelines.
