Contribuições formativas da educação tutorial no ensino de graduação: relato das experiências do Grupo PET BCI/UFSCar

Abstract

The Tutorial Education Program, implemented by the Federal Government, encourages the development of teaching, research and extension activities at the undergraduate level in Higher Education Institutions in the country. In view of the importance and scope of tutorial education, the aim is to identify the contribution of the Tutorial Education Program (PET), more specifically its impact on Librarianship and Information Science courses, by reporting the experiences of the PET BCI Group at the Federal University of São Carlos (PET BCI/UFSCar). To this end, concepts and principles of tutorial education will be addressed, the role of tutorial education in the training of librarians and information scientists, as well as the experiences of PETs in library science in Brazil, with a focus on the historical path of PET BCI from UFSCar. It is an exploratory and descriptive research, conducted through bibliographical research and survey in environments maintained by the groups. As a result, there are benefits for the training of future librarians and information scientists in the personal, professional and general scope, with the PET BCI of UFSCar being a prominent group on the national scene.
