Abstract

One of the main resources used by higher education institutions to complete academic training at undergraduate, postgraduate and similar levels is the Final Paper (TCC). The TCC has significant importance, as it allows the student to come into contact with research, bringing relevant contributions to science and the community. However, there are few publications regarding the TCC profiles carried out at universities, and also the impact of the results of these researches carried out. The present study aimed to describe the profile of the TCC of the Undergraduate Course in Physical Education (Bachelor's Degree) at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Governador Valadares campus. This is a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study; and outline with data obtained through the UFJF Institutional Repository and through the Sistema Integrado de Gestão Acadêmica (SIGA), a system that store students' personal data and enrollments. The results indicate a substantial number of students who attended the first (n = 114) and second stages of the TCC (n = 90). Of these, 93 (81.57%) were approved in the first stage, while 70 (77.77%) in the second stage. It is noteworthy that of the 70 TCC completed, only 45 are in the UFJF Institutional Repository. There was a disparity in the number of orientations among the 14 professors evaluated. One of the teachers has already supervised 15 TCCs, another, seven TCCs, and another teacher has supervised five TCCs. Regarding TCC co-supervision, only 10 teachers co-supervised the TCC, with 32 of the 45 works evaluated not having co-supervision (71.11%). Regarding the qualifications of the supervising professors, it was observed that all of them have a doctorate degree. Among the co-supervisors, it was observed that 10 have a doctorate degree, two have a master's degree and one is a specialist. Regarding the constitution of the examining boards, it was found that 17 boards were mixed (i.e., formed by an external member and an internal member; 38%) and 28 were composed exclusively of internal members (62%). Regarding the qualifications of the examining board (excluding the supervisor and co-supervisor), it was observed that of the 90 participants who made up the 45 panels, 71 (78.89%) have a doctorate degree, 16 (17.78%) have a master's degree, and two (3.33%) are specialists. Given the data, it can be concluded that there is a reduced number of TCC available in the UFJF Institutional Repository compared to the number of TCC completed in the Undergraduate Course in Physical Education (Bachelor's Degree) at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Governador campus. The profile of supervisors, co-supervisors, and members of the examining boards is mostly made up of doctors. Finally, there is a disparity in the number of TCC orientations among the teaching staff of the Undergraduate Course in Physical Education (Bachelor's Degree) at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, Governador campus.
