The present work aimed to describe the experiences of a student of the Degree Course in Biological Sciences at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE), during the participation’s period in the Pedagogical Residence Program, working at the Antônio Correia de Araújo School, in the city from Camaragibe (PE). In this way, the experience report covered the experiences of a resident, from the introduction to the program until the period of immersion in school, describing the activities carried out and their perceptions from the first contact in basic education, in addition to portraying the importance of PRP for teacher training.
