Prática docente em arquitetura e urbanismo

estudo da aplicação de métodos de ensino-aprendizagem

Abstract

Higher education teachers with extensive technical knowledge in their fields of expertise were not necessarily trained with appropriate teaching methods. With concern to the field of ​​Architecture and Planning, for example, the bachelor's degree of these professionals does not include any preparation for being a professor. With that in mind, the Teaching Practice class within the Postgraduate Program in Urban Planning at the Federal University of Paraná prepares their master's students to apply pedagogical methods during their teaching internship. In this article, we will explore the experience of nine master's students from 2018 and 2019 who taught 248 undergraduate students in their internships. Two methods were applied. First, the Index of Learning Styles, applied to identify the students' learning profile. Afterward, the master's students used those results to prepare their class by applying the Kolb Cycle methodology. The purpose of these methods is to place the student at the center of academic planning based on classes designed to meet the different learning profiles of the class and encourage active participation from undergraduate students in this process. The results suggest that the introduction to pedagogy contributes to the formation of qualified professors to work in Architecture and Planning majors by training them to direct their classes towards specific learning profiles of a creative nature, common to this profession.
