Abstract

This research resulted from studies and restlessness on the teacher appreciation. We searched investigate the non-compulsory internship as an element of depreciation/appreciation of teaching carrier and attractiveness to courses which lead to the teaching, especially the Faculty of Pedagogy. It has as central objective identify implications of current configurations of the non-compulsory internship in Children Education as a mechanism for teaching valuation and attractiveness to start the teaching carrier in four municipal education networks of Irati micro region in Paraná – Brazil. From it, we define the following specific objectives: a) contextualizing the articulation of policies for teacher initial training, especially of the Faculty of Pedagogy, verifying continuities and breaks in laws and decrees that ensure the students’ right regarding to the non-compulsory internship, in light of new demands and of (re)configurations in the universe of work; b) identifying and systematize academic productions on the non-compulsory internship focusing the Faculty of Pedagogy; c) Surveying and systematize general data about Irati-Pr Micro region, permeating the political economic contexts, the educational sphere and the context of trainees' hiring; d) analyzing the non-compulsory internship in the four municipal networks, in order to verify the main impacts of this mechanism, while misplaced of teaching appreciation. From the definition of specific objectives was possible, through the analysis of the historical and dialectic materialism and the contributions by Antonio Gramsci and from the in loco research with the main involved with the non-compulsory internship, identifying that flexibilization in labor laws enable the hiring trainees instead of qualified professionals. It happens because students are from a working class, and they are subsumed by capitalist logic and subordinated to sell their workforce in order to ensure the minimum living conditions and permanence in their training courses. We also noticed out that the non-compulsory internship is understood in a particular way by the elements involved in the hiring process. In other word, the internship, as an education act, oftentimes is distorted, approaching the labor sphere, once the students are being placed to work in a demand from students, supplying the gaps in the municipal teaching staff, and this situation are causing impacts not only on the quality of Education offered to the population, also for devaluation/appreciation of teaching carrier.
