LEARNING AND DISCOVERIES: THE JOURNEY OF THE SCIENTIST OF RELIGIONS IN SUPERVISED INTERNSHIP I AT JUAREZ DA GAMA BATISTA LIBRARY

Abstract

The objective of this article is to highlight the importance of Supervised Internship (SI) for students in the Bachelor's degree program in Religious Studies (CR) at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). SI is an indispensable stage for the comprehensive and adequate education of students, allowing the application of theoretical knowledge in practice and the
development of professional skills. The issue addressed is the need to complement theoretical learning with practical experiences, aiming to prepare students for the professional world. The methodology involved a partnership between UFPB and the Espaço Cultural Foundation of Paraíba, the choice of the Juarez da Gama Batista Library as the internship location, in-depth research on different religions, and the development of a schedule of activities. Satisfactory results included practical observations in the library, participation in meetings with managers, and organized cataloging of the religious collection. In summary, Supervised Internship was essential in the education of CR students, equipping them to face the challenges of the
religious field.
