Curricular Internship in the Health and Psychological field: Documents Analysis of Public Domain

Abstract

The current study aims to identify and discuss the conceptions and models of the health-related Supervised Curricular Internship in Brazil. Guided by the theoretical-methodological referential of the Discursive Practices and Sense Production, the research proceeded with the Analysis of Documents of public domain. The Focused documents were the ones that regulate and guide the internships and the pedagogical purposes. Such search and identification came out with 50 results, and produced tables to organize all the information and a chronological line. We produced dialogical maps and the linguistic repertoire identified. The internship conceptions can be grouped in four sets of senses: Labour, Technicist, Formalist and Formative. Their origins, linked to industry and work conceptions, the technicism, associated with the professional teaching and focused on techniques and procedures, the formalism, which tends to link to the bureaucracy with learning and teaching processes, associate to formative conceptions and rule the Supervised Curricular Internship.
