Narrativas (auto)biográficas de egressos do Programa de Educação Tutorial - Grupo UFRB e Recôncavo em conexão, formados no Curso de Licenciatura em Biologia

Abstract

The present study is the result of a research carried out with former students of the Biology Undergraduate Program, who participated in the Tutorial Education Program UFRB and Recôncavo in Connection, whose objective was to understand the memories of training and the meanings attributed by the former students about their trajectories in the Tutorial Education Program - UFRB and Recôncavo in Connection Group (PET-URC) and in the Biology Undergraduate Program. This research was based on the theoretical contributions of Souza (2004), Josso (2007) and Nóvoa (1992), among others. The study is part of the qualitative approach of (auto)biographical type, of a comprehensive nature. The locus of the research was the Undergraduate Biology course at UFRB (CCAAB/UFRB) and the research Biology collaborators were three former students of the undergraduate course, already graduated Biology teachers, who lived their formative experiences in PET-URC. To this end, narrative interviews were used as a data collection tool. Data were interpreted and categorized according to Bardin (1997, 2016), through Content Analysis, using the categorical analysis technique. The results of the research showed that the formative experiences of the collaborators were marked by challenges since their school days, and in graduation it was no different, until the completion of the undergraduate course. The formative journey as PET-URC fellows, inseparating the dimensions of teaching, research and extension, linked to academic life and learning in the course, proved to be quite significant, especially for overcoming the difficulties of staying at the university. Nowadays, already working as a teacher in Biology, they say that the belonging and the network of welcoming in the group of the Tutorial Education Program to which they belonged was a watershed, since the formative experiences produced meaning and left positive marks on the person and the professional they became.
