Abstract

Teacher training is extremely important for improving educational quality in the country and, in this context, the pedagogical residency program (PRP) emerges as a prominent initiative. The objective of this work was to map dissertations related to the pedagogical residency program in the time frame from 2018 to 2022, available in the CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog. The PRP, the focus of this study, has as one of its objectives the immersion of undergraduate students in basic education institutions, in order to promote an increase in teacher training and a more direct relationship between Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and others. Using a qualitative-quantitative approach, specific descriptors were used to identify 17 relevant dissertations, of which 16 were accessible and 10 were effectively analyzed (5 were unrelated to the theme ). The analysis was based on a floating reading of the title, summary and methodology of the identified productions, we proceeded with a partial reading of the other topics in order to confirm their relevance to the PRP. From the analysis of the works examined, it was found that there is an increase in works involving PRP, mainly with regard to its contribution to professional training.
