The Pedagogical Residency Program at the Federal University of Goiás

Abstract

The objective of this article is to share the results of the research linked to the project “Teacher Training and Emerging Didactics” and, thus, present the data from the Pedagogical Residency Program (PRP) within the scope of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) related to Capes Notice No. 6/2018, pointing out the procedures for institutional adhesion to the Program, the number of scholarships offered, as well as the courses and participating municipalities. Seventeen internal notices launched by the institution throughout 2018 were analyzed, which sought to fill the vacancies for Resident and Preceptor Professor. The research made it possible to identify that, initially, the PRP notices at UFG had a high rate of filling of vacancies for scholarship holders, decreasing considerably in subsequent notices. Consequently, the results obtained indicated that the Pedagogical Residency at UFG is a program in the process of structuring and, even though the institution has adhered to the project, this decision is permeated by criticism and resistance. Furthermore, the relevance of internal disputes (UFG) and external confrontations at a national level was highlighted for the reconfiguration of the Pedagogical Residency Program with each new Capes call for proposals, aiming at greater consonance with the perspectives and contexts of higher education institutions throughout Brazil. Likewise, the current Capes proposal for 2024 was highlighted, raising questions regarding the intentions and motivations underlying the movements of national policies for teacher training.
