THE alvorecer da experiência no programa residência pedagógica: vivências de pedagogas na educação infantil

Abstract

Early Childhood Education is the first stage of basic education and is fundamental for the integral development of the individual. Therefore, it occupies a significant place in the initial training of undergraduate in Pedagogy courses, which also includes the Pedagogical Residence Program (PRP). The objective of this article is to discuss the contributions of the PRP in the training of pedagogues for work in Early Childhood Education. The theoretical framework was based on the Deweyan perspective on the educational experience, highlighting the principles of interaction and continuity. The methodology was based on narrative research with four graduates of a Pedagogy course at the State University of Bahia (UNEB), Brazil, who were residents. The main results showed that the PRP contributed specifically with knowledge for work in Early Childhood Education, for the work of residents beyond the university environment and for the articulation between theory and practice, in the sense of praxis.
