Trajetórias e reflexões: o portfólio digital como registro evolutivo na iniciação a docência

Abstract

This paper highlights both the individual and collective experiences of the students during their training to become teachers. The title suggests a dual approach, focusing on both the trajectory of the development and progression of the student and the reflection, critical and personal analysis of this trajectory. The objective is to analyze the applicability and effectiveness of an evolutionary digital portfolio as an instrument for recording, reflecting and developing the professional skills of undergraduate students in Educational Informatics (LIE) who are scholarship holders of the Institutional Scholarship Program for Teaching Initiation (PIBID) carried out at the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA). The work includes qualitative and quantitative research, focused on the in-depth understanding of the experiences and perceptions of the LIE students during their teacher training. Through the portfolios produced and the questionnaires that were applied, the progress of the scholarship holders was detailed. The initiative is to improve the training of these participants, offering them a dynamic platform that contributes significantly to the construction of a solid and reflective foundation. This foundation is essential for advancing in their future careers as educators in the field of LIE. The research encompasses not only detailed documentation of the academic path, but also an in-depth analysis of this journey, highlighting the students' skills and capabilities in relation to the tool in question.
