A formação do assistente social: a afetividade na supervisão de estágio

Abstract

This essay boards the emotions and feelings experienced in the class of academic phase by the students of Social Service. The term Academic Supervision refers to the academic and pedagogic period for study, reflection, guidance and evaluation of the student s practical phase. On this evaluation the academic phase supervision is considered a discipline, a privileged class of the theoretical practice of Social Service. The research involved students of the 3º and 4º year of the Nocturnal Superior Social Service Course of a public university of São Paulo state (in Brazil). The procedure adopted for data collection was the discussion group. The results of this evaluation shows that in the relation between student and academic supervisor the affection developed is present not only on the direct relation that is established between teacher and student, but is also found in the other dimensions of the pedagogic work developed in the class room. The affection that rounds in the academic supervision group is present in any group; however if it s not identified and worked out by the supervisor it may loop of the teaching and learning process. It s urgent to include in the discussion on anyone s preparation to become an academic phase supervisor of the importance to deepen up the theoretical and practical aspects of group work. The author understands that the enclosure of this theme into the continuous formation of the academic supervisor will turn easier the interaction group/ academic supervisor and as a consequence of this the teaching/ learning process. Although this study had its focus in the emotions and feelings experience in the class room of academic phase supervision it was evident that the emotions and feelings experienced in the relation student- field phase supervisor can be renewed in this place by the student. The academic phase supervision is a moment in witch the student can build up his own sense of being a social assistant. The role of the teacher in this process of teaching and learning is fundamental, as much for the activities proposed for the development of the class as for the link that is established with the student. The teacher student interaction with the speech freed of emotions and feelings in this place of the academic supervision develops favorable conditions as much for the presentation of its contents as for the professional maturation of the Social Service student. The development theory of Henri Wallon, whose fundamental axis is the integration, on a double sense: organism-environment and between functional domains: affection, knowledge and motor act, was the principal guidance of this study
