Abstract

Monitoring is a complementary activity that offers pedagogical support and plays an essential role in training undergraduate students and the monitor himself and their initiation to teaching. The report aims to present the experiences of developing a monitoring program, with institutional support, in an endodontics discipline at a federal higher education institution. The teaching team prepared a work plan that contemplated different pedagogical, technical, and scientific activities to be developed by the monitors. The following results were achieved after four semesters: a) positive influence on the performance of 109 students with only three final averages lower than seven; b) technical and scientific improvement of the monitors with participation in a workshop on mechanized instrumentation in Endodontics; c) scientific development of the monitors with the production of didactic materials, scientific projects, participation and presentation of six papers in scientific events with three awards, publication of abstracts in annals and production of two-course completion papers; d) participation in institutional action to reduce dropout in the course; e) elaboration of a research project to evaluate the performance of monitors, structured through a questionnaire. It can be concluded that the development of a monitoring project inserted in the context of an academic support program, with the offer of scholarships, can generate significant interest in participation by students and that a variety of activities proposed in the work plan contributed in a relevant way to the teaching-learning process of the monitors and to the discipline.
