The Universidade Federal do Sul da Bahia (UFSB) and the new university project: how are teachers licensing programs?

Abstract

This paper is part of the current public policies for Brazilian higher education, focusing on public policies aimed at teacher education. It constitutes, as research place, the process of implantation of the Courses of Interdisciplinary Licenciaturas of the Universidade Federal do Sul da Bahia (UFSB). To this process, the question is: How, in the context of the practice, are the guidelines and other normative guidelines being used in the service of the organization of undergraduate courses in Brazil? What actions can be identified as institutional
strategies aimed at subversion of these political texts? Which practices indicate effective compliance with legal regulations? In response to these problematizations, the analysis identified the use of institutional strategies that
prioritize the fulfillment of the "quantitative" dimensions required by political texts (distribution of practice hours as a curricular component and mandatory stage) to the detriment of qualitative dimensions and their probable advances From the perspective of teacher training to work in basic education.
