Abstract
Monitoring in the Ca ? apava do Sul campus, Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA), intends to provide the development in academical activities and techniques inside the Geoscience field, in subjects offered in the curricula of Geophysics, Geology and Environmental and Sanitary Engineering programs. It is a student activity in which helping the teacher to intensify and assure the cooperation between the students and the monitor into the classroom and also in the basic activities on the University related to Teaching, Research and Extension is the main purpose. Therefore, it is possible to intensify the awareness of group importance in knowledge in general, as well as the familiarity with the differences, with conceptual contents, behaviour and proposed activities that are offered to develop in each student the responsibilities itself and with everybody else, always emphasizing the importance of working in a group. Teaching is inseparably related to learning. The goals are the development of conceptual abilities and classroom and laboratory techniques, as well as in extracurricular activities, in order to arouse in the students their interests about the subjects addressed. The main objective of monitoring work is to learn, not only learning about the subject, but also contents related to some procedures, preparing, experiment and, in the matter of fact, everything that is related to the knowledge about living and discussing in a group. Therefore, it is believed that the student/ monitor should live this experience provided by teaching and integrate the practical experiences in his formation, in addition and as an improvement of his program.
