Rural Education in times of pandemic: the supervised internship in the Degree in Agriculture/Agrarian Sciences

Rural Education is a modality provided for in the Federal Law of Guidelines and Bases No. 9394 of 1996, with the Degree in Agricultural/Agrarian Sciences being one of the graduations that qualifies educators to work in this modality. In the curriculum of the Degree in Agricultural/Agrarian Sciences, the supervised internship constitutes a space for the relationship between theory and practice, being a teaching and learning instrument for teacher training and performance in Rural Education. The general objective of this text is to present, based on a reflective descriptive analysis, the pedagogical experience of an internship program, in the Degree course in Agricultural/Agrarian Sciences, in times of pandemic, and how it can contribute to the development of knowledge necessary for teaching practice. From the reflective descriptive analysis, it was possible to infer that the intern was faced with a new universe in times of a pandemic, with the need to build technological knowledge to enable his pedagogical intervention via digital devices. This experience is understood as a step towards teaching, in an unprecedented way, overcoming educational paradigms, in the face of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic. This pedagogical knowledge acquired in the course and experienced in the supervised internship can contribute to the formation of teachers, aware of the teaching and learning relationships with the historical context experienced, especially in Rural Education.
