PEREIRA, Ricardo Inocêncio  and  HEINZLE, Marcia Regina Selpa. Theory and practice: combination in the formation journey of a German language degree course. Educação. Santa Maria [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.2, pp.285-300. ISSN 1984-6444.  https://doi.org/10.5902/1984644427442.

This article presents results of a research on the relation between theory and practice in a German Language degree course, with the objective of analysing this relation in the formation journey, based on the understandings of the academic students. Considering the Policy Cycle (BALL, 1994) and focusing on the context of practice, the text brings the emerging understandings of the discursive textual analysis (MORAES, 2003; MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2006) from a questionnaire applied to course students. From the analysis of the corpus emerge advances in the relation between theory and practice, indicating their combination in the course, as well as evidences of a dichotomous relation that persists. The understandings of the academic students prove the importance of combining theory and practice in the professional formation of teachers, which has long been defended in theoretical discourses already incorporated by the official guidelines.

Keywords : Theory and Practice Combination; Formation Journey; German Language Degree Course.
