During the internship period, observations, teaching practices, and pedagogical activities were conducted with 6th and 7th-grade classes of Elementary School. The methodology included bibliographic research, assessment of school infrastructure, classroom observations, activity implementation, and the use of resources such as models and teaching materials. The results highlighted the importance of the internship in developing pedagogical skills, fostering reflection on professional identity, and understanding the school reality. The experience allowed for the application of theoretical knowledge in real teaching situations, emphasizing the need for contextualized practices. It is concluded that the supervised internship is essential for teacher training, offering immersion in school daily life and contributing to the development of a critical and reflective pedagogical practice.
