As expectativas de atuação profissional de jovens estudantes em um polo UAB do estado de Goiás

Abstract

The present study aims to identify, based on empirical research, the expectations of professional performance of young students who recently graduated and are graduating from the Open University of Brazil (UAB) System pedagogy program in the state of Goiás. Twenty students, aged from 20 to 24 years old participated in the research. In order to understand different scientific productions that deal with the research theme, we used some principles of the state of knowledge, categorizing the academic literature on career and professional expectations, the guidelines for teaching training, The Open University System of Brazil and the Distance Learning. We searched for documents, thesis, dissertations and articles in two databases: the Web of Science and the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (IBICT). The methodological approach of this research is qualitative. For data collection, an online questionnaire was used as an instrument, with the participation of 20 young students from the pedagogy course. Additionally, to complement the questionnaire information, three interviews were conducted with a semi-structured script. From the data collected and generated, different expectations of the young students of the pedagogy course concerning the possibilities of professional performance were evidenced, indicating the desire of working in the school context as civil servants or private schools.
