THE SUPERVISED CURRICULAR INTERNSHIP OF THE UNDERGRADUATE CHEMISTRY PROGRAM IN REMOTE FORMAT DURING THE PANDEMIC: EXPERIENCES FROM IFMA – BACABAL CAMPUS

Abstract

This article discusses the implementation of the Supervised Curricular Internship in the Undergraduate Chemistry Program in a remote format. The main objective was to adapt internship activities to the online modality while preserving the connection with the community. The methodological procedures included formal meetings with campus management, the course board, and faculty members; the drafting of a resolution to formalize the new internship format; and the adoption of Google Meet for the development of internship activities in basic education at IFMA, with the participation of supervising professors and the internship coordinator. The results highlight the promotion of reflective practices through student memorials and self-analysis on the role of educators in the pandemic context. As a contribution, a web page was created to provide free Chemistry classes for both the internal and external community of the campus, taught by the interns.
