Monitoring in Higher Education: integrational review of literature with emphasis for teaching preparation / A monitoria no Ensino Superior: revisão integrativa de literatura com ênfase para a preparação docente

Abstract

This research aims to characterize the Monitor function, systematizing its importance and attributions, as well as the validity of this activity throughout the academic and teaching formation based on the responsibility and commitment to the readings, practice of observation and participation in meetings with the teaching professors of disciplines in the Universities. It is salutary to point out that in this teaching and student process together they develop several activities that provide a better understanding about the objects of study of the sciences and methodologies adopted in the academic disciplines, making feasible reflections that direct a more didactic-pedagogical practice. The sociohistorical aspects that comprise the concept of monitoring are analyzed, such as the evolutionary process of Brazilian education, the concepts of education, and the main norms institutionalized by Brazilian universities and UFAL specifically. In this sense, the integrative literature review will permeate the discussions of Cunningham (1975), Bello (2001 and 2009), Neves (2005), Neves and Men (2007), Schneider (2006), Nunes (2007), Queiróz and Barzaghi (2007), Ferenc and Mizukami (2007), seeking to understand specific latent elements throughout the process of evolution of the Monitor function in the formative and educational processes to understand and value the practices of academic monitoring in the university context in Alagoas.
