The Training in and for Research in PIBID: possibilities and weaknesses

Abstract

This research aims to investigate contributions of the Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação a Docência [Institutional Scholarship for Teaching Initiation Program] - (PIBID) to the learning of teachers. It is focused on the construction of the professional identity as researchers and reflective teachers, in the context of a Federal Institute of Sciences, Education and Technology, by means of narratives and documents analysis. It was evident that the PIBID may constitute a space for reflection, where the student is encouraged to develop an investigative approach and to prepare and implement educational and research projects; however, studies and reflections concerning research should also be taken by other trainer teachers so that such activity will be strengthened in the institution.
