The Bachelor's Degree in Pedagogy – Faculty of Education / Unicamp:
The training path for graduates in Pedagogy aims to qualify them to work in educational institutions to teach in Early Childhood Education, the Early Years of Elementary Education, pedagogical subjects in secondary education courses and Special Education, in pedagogical and educational management, in schools and institutions. It also qualifies them to work in non-school and informal institutions. This professional training includes research experience, as well as reflection on political and cultural aspects of educational action.
The course is offered in two periods:
– course 20 – Integral Pedagogy, from 8 am to 18 pm
– course 38 – Pedagogy Night, from 19 pm to 23 pm.
Intervening in society: beyond the classroom
The purpose of the undergraduate Pedagogy course at Unicamp, offered by the School of Education (FE), in full-time and evening classes, is to provide the necessary training to intervene in the most diverse educational realities, whether formal or not. The objective is to offer students a solid theoretical and practical training that will allow them to act in society through education, whether in the classroom, in management positions or in any other areas that require political-pedagogical work. The Pedagogy curriculum consists of a very diverse range of subjects that range from the humanities, such as philosophy, psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, linguistics, through those that deal with the school curriculum (Portuguese, mathematics, geography, history, sciences) to those that situate the role of the pedagogue in the context of legislation and educational policies, contributing to reflection in the classroom and about the classroom, as well as in the context of school planning and management.
Research and internships
The theoretical discussions are accompanied by several guided and complementary practical activities. Regarding internships, there are teaching practice and supervised internship disciplines, whose practical activities are developed especially in schools, both during and outside the period of studies at FE. It is worth mentioning that students of both Pedagogy courses (full-time and night-time) must be available to carry out the internship during the day (outside of class hours), preferably in public institutions. Regarding research, students have several alternatives at their disposal to get started and get involved in the world of investigation. The two most common options are the development of research linked to a project coordinated by FE professors through Scientific Initiation; and through the Final Course Work, which provides an opportunity to develop individual research guided by professors from the School of Education.
Teaching, the basis for increasingly broader action
The pedagogue has an increasingly broad field of activity, given the recognition that the professional's work is not restricted to the school or the classroom, but extends to work, for example, in planning, managing, executing and evaluating projects in different social institutions.
