Residência docente – um ganho pedagógico

Abstract

Throughout the LatoSensu Graduate Course "Teaching Residency for the Basic Education Educators' Formation" – a partnership between the City Hall of Belo Horizonte and UFMG – the author performed several activities aiming, among other objectives, to assist the participating teacher in the reflection of pedagogical practice in the classroom. This Course Completion Paper (TCC) presents as a prologue the author's Memorial – material that was written between the second half of 2018 and the first half of 2019. Among the various activities developed and carried out in the Course, the Action Project: "Learning Healthy Eating" through games and jokes, was the one that most impacted the school of the participating teacher. It was an action designed to achieve the work proposal of the Graduate Course. All the work was prepared and discussed with the supervising teachers at the Pedagogical Center of UFMG and applied in two classes of the 5th grade of elementary school at the Municipal School of Vila Pinho - Regional Barreiro of Belo Horizonte. What, at first, was the fulfillment of a mandatory task, turned out, during its development, into a pleasant activity for all involved. The use of the Nepso research tool (described in the text) was an important action in the realization of the Action Project. The data analysis confirmed the hypothesis raised by the students of the 5th year of the said School, that the school lunch is healthy and well accepted by the students. The work carried out in the qualification of the theme provided the students with a greater participation degree in the activities elaborated for the Project. In addition to the activities proposed by the textbook, related to food contents, other activities were carried out with the use of films, texts, debates, construction and analysis of graphics, sessions of artistic works, creation and assembly of games and jokes that were used in the Works Exhibition of the Municipal School of Vila Pinho, held on September 27, 2019. The idea of working with games and jokes emerged in the face of the need to go beyond the contents and activities of the classroom. The main objective of the games and jokes was to consolidate the need to change the students' eating habits. After the studies and the activities, we conclude that everyone involved, students and family members, knows how to differentiate healthy eating from that which is not adequate, however, the change of habits is a slow and time-consuming process. The present work shows that the role of the school is fundamental to introduce, resume, workout and consolidate the concepts of healthy eating. This project sought to encourage the inclusion, in the school curriculum, of the content "Healthy Eating" in all years of all cycles of elementary school.
