Formação docente: Pibid no Conbrace/Conice

Abstract

Teacher Education in Brazil is the result of a long historical process marked by transformations that accompany the development of basic education and public policies aimed at teaching. In this context, the Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships (Pibid) stands out as a governmental initiative that seeks to strengthen initial teacher education and enhance the teaching profession by bringing undergraduate students closer to the school environment and promoting the integration of theory and practice. This study discusses the theme of teacher education and the relevance of Pibid in the field of Physical Education, recognizing it as a key public policy for improving teacher training and the quality of education. The objective was to map and analyze publications presented at the 2019, 2021, and 2023 editions of the Brazilian Congress of Sport Sciences and the International Congress of Sport Sciences (Conbrace/Conice). A qualitative and exploratory approach was adopted, based on bibliographic and documentary research, which resulted in the identification of 63 full papers in the conference proceedings. After a full reading, the texts were organized into 11 thematic categories, including: body culture, curriculum, remote teaching, initial and continuing education, inclusion, gender, public policies, and pedagogical practice. The results indicate that Pibid plays a central role in the education of Physical Education teachers by providing practical experiences in the school environment, fostering the development of pedagogical competencies, and strengthening teaching identity. The analyses show that the program contributes to building a more critical, reflective education that is closely connected to the reality of public schools. It is concluded that Pibid represents a fundamental public policy for the qualification of teacher education, as it promotes dialogue between universities and schools, values the teaching profession, and contributes to the improvement of basic education in Brazil. Its importance is reaffirmed as a space for learning, reflection, and transformation, capable of preparing teachers who are more committed to pedagogical practice and to the construction of a democratic and socially emancipatory education. This study shows that Pibid not only promotes a qualified insertion of undergraduate students into schools but also consolidates itself as a fertile space for academic research. Pibid is understood as an essential link between theory and practice, universities and schools, initial and continuing education, establishing itself as an indispensable public policy for valuing and strengthening the teaching profession in Brazil.
