The supervised curricular internship at teacher education in the pandemic: perceptions of teacher educators

This exploratory study investigated and analyzed the perceptions of 16 teacher educators responsible for the Supervised Curricular Internship in teacher education from different public Higher Education Institutions, considering the challenges and possibilities of their implementation in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. A semi-structured questionnaire revealed that 5 teachers did not offer an internship in this model due to the perception that it would cause more harm than contribute to the education of the students. The data indicate some prospects, but also the fear to adopt Emergency Remote Teaching in the internship due to the fact that students have not experienced the in-person teaching practice in schools.
