REMEMORAR É TRANSCENDER: UM DIÁLOGO COM LICENCIANDOS DO GRUPO PET CONEXÕES DE SABERES DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL FLUMINENSE.

This work aims at analyzing narratives produced by undergraduate students in teacher training programs about the contributions of the PET Group “Connections and Knowledge” in the formation and production of knowledge of the professionals engaged. Presenting a qualitative approach, of the case-study type, the group was formed by 4 undergraduate students in teacher training, who were also scholarship holders of the above mentioned group (PET) during the period comprised by the years of 2014 and 2018. The data was collected via semistructed interviews, field researcher’s notes, observation of the meetings performed by the Group weekly. There was also the analysis of official documents which legally support the Program of Educational Tutoring/MEC-SESu, and materials which guide work creation and development of the above mentioned Group. The results make clear the production and the articulation of teachers’ knowledge both at university and at school, the sharing of activities which are professional in nature, the resignification of theoretical knowledge, and the development of a more investigative approach to the future career. These results also indicated that the participation of this particular Group increased and reinforced the chances of these students staying at university due to a sense of community, of personal welcoming and of belonging in a more professional aspect; as well as the financial help these students obtain from participating in the program via scholarship.
