BATISTA, Bruno Nunes. The teaching internship as a critical-experimental community. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2021, vol.59, n.60, e-24237.  Epub Apr 19, 2022. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2021v59n60id24237.

In this essay I develop some arguments that intend to relate the teaching internship to the conception of communities of practice. A notion developed by Etienne Wenger, the community of practice is thought of as a group of individuals who, engaged in learning the craft they are passionate about, come together to establish, improve and maintain this commitment. Based on this construction, I argue that some historical obstacles of supervised teacher training, especially the disconnection between theory and practice and the timid dialogue between university and school, can be confronted through the establishment of a community of pedagogical practice. Contemplated by actors from different institutions, it would maintain its unity due to the passion for teaching, the desire to learn and the adventure of experimenting with didactics within the realm of difference and pedagogical tradition. However, we will not have ready-made formulas for the success of this process: the parameters of each community would have to be guided locally and by hand.

Keywords : Teaching internship; Communities of Practice; Teaching; Learning.
