Contribuições da iniciação científica na formação do administrador: um estudo na Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul Campus Cerro Largo

Abstract

Scientific initiation (IC) is recognized in universities as an academic activity developed by undergraduate students, in several areas of knowledge, from the development of a research project with the purpose of producing knowledge. The IC is an important tool that enables scholarship holders to acquire academic and professional experiences, as well as encourages transformational actions in society. It does not differ for the future professional of the administration, considering that the participation in research projects can contribute to the development of competences, abilities and attitudes. From this, this work aims to identify the contributions of the scientific initiation policy in the professional training of academics of the Administration course at UFFS, Campus Cerro Largo. As for the methodological approach used, it is characterized as a qualitative research, and in relation to the technical procedures it is classified as a documentary, case and field study. Data collection took place through a semi-structured interview with the institution's research managers, IC mentoring professors, scholarship students and graduates. As a result of these studies, the competences and skills acquired with the participation in projects can be applied not only to those who want to continue in the research, but are applicable within the company and in their personal lives, all the agents involved converge that the competences go beyond practices what the research provides, but what is behind it, intrinsic abilities.
