The Non-Conventional Internship and its Contributions to Teachers’ Education and Training

Abstract: the article presents the results of the analysis of two supervised internship experiences carried out in non-conventional educational sites. It is a documentary research whose corpus consisted of reports written by interns of the Graduate School of Education. Three categories came out of the material analysis: a) usefulness / functionality of the internship in non-educational contexts; b) differentiating elements (compared to schools) found at the internship sites c) feelings associated with the experience gained in the internship. The results show that the internship in teachers’ education and training can also be thought of from non-conventional educational sites.
