Estágio e supervisão

: que relações?

Abstract

This paper reflects part of my professional journey over the last twenty one years of duty. I focused it on my teaching practice, that stage of the process of teaching which is so important for our professional development. I started by doing an historical review of the training of teachers in Portugal, and of that specific training in University of Minho. I explored some themes related to this period included in the initial training of teacher, outlining moments such as:  supervision as the bridge that operates the transition from trainee teacher to teacher;  the relationships that are established between those involved in this binomial/trinomial. And the way the peers see themselves and deal with each other.  the importance of reflexion and it translation into and for action. My reflexion reinforced the idea, that seems to me a nuclear one, of the essential nature of the relationships developed along the period of teaching practice between the supervisor figure and that of the teacher apprentice. Relationships whose fertility result not only from the establishnment of professional links but also from the ability to generate profitable intersubjective relationships.
