Abstract

This article discusses internships, focusing on them as components of the educational process in higher education programs, as shown by the history of Brazilian education. The objective is to present some reflections on the trajectory of social service and
internships as a way to approximate and introduce students to professional practice, preparing them to experience ethical-political, theoretical-methodological and technical-operational aspects of the profession. Internships have encompassed a methodological diversity that trace the direction of supervision, and its objectives and concepts. Some of these elements characterize internships as a complementary, peripheral activity, which is exogenous to the proposals of the educational process that, in some cases, strengthens the dichotomy between theory and practice and a conservative approach to the profession.
