Um estudo sobre a percepção da identidade profissional de licenciados em Computação do IFBA campus Porto Seguro

Abstract

The academic training of computer science graduates, as well as their schooling experience, should be considered essential parts of the process of developing professional identity. The development of teaching identity is linked to various factors, primarily the social groups to which we belong. It is an ongoing process, with changes occurring all the time as new experiences are lived. In this sense, the conception of this research is based on the importance of reflecting on the academic journey and the construction of the professional identity of computer science graduates during their initial training. This is a qualitative, comprehensive empirical study that seeks to contribute to the studies of professional identity among computer science graduates. The empirical material was produced through narrative interviews, and the analysis procedures were inspired by the teachings of M. Bicudo and V. Kluth regarding qualitative research from a phenomenological perspective. The general objective is to understand the process of building the professional identity of students in the Computer Science Licensure program. Understanding this construction has shown us that the process of developing the professional identity of computer science graduates, starting from their initial training, encompasses various factors such as the influence of family, peers, teacher educators, student engagement in curricular components, aptitude in specific areas of computer science, and other elements.
