Abstract

This article presents a reflection on the place of the Supervised Curricular Internship of Teacher Education courses, in the context of suspension of academic and school activities in face of Covid-19, articulating it with the economic, social and morbidity and mortality conditions. The research problem in this article is: What is the place of the Supervised Curricular Internship of teacher training courses in the context of Pandemic by COVID-19? To answer it, a theoretical study was carried out on the educational legislation on the pandemic; study of official data and demographic research; and in research in the area of Education and Health. The economic, social conditions and the morbidity and mortality of the pandemic by Covid-19 are discussed, linked to the reality of the work of teachers in remote education and its relationship with the Supervised Curricular Internship. The results show that the economic, social conditions and morbidity and mortality of this pandemic, the ethical-political educational problems, the challenges of school management and teaching work, virtual or in person, are also demands of the Internship.  It is argued that the place of the Supervised Curricular Internship in the context of the Pandemic by COVID-19 consists of problematizing these conditions that accentuate Brazilian social and educational inequalities and directly imply teaching and teacher training.
