The health crisis scenario caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has devastated the world population since the year 2020, imposing challenges to educational institutions regarding the organization of teaching, research, and extension processes. Teachers, students, and social workers who work in Institutions that grant internships have been forced to face an adverse context of worsening expressions of the social issue, which directly influenced the routine of professional practice, as well as the teaching-learning of students in the process of academic education. The present dissertation, anchored in critical theoretical currents, has as its main objective to analyze the academic education, with emphasis on the experience of curricular internship, of undergraduate students in Social Work at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. For this, we point to the trajectory of Higher Education in Brazil, from the 1990 s, as well as the milestones in the history of Social Service, from the refusal of conservatism and the construction of the Ethical-Political Project of the profession, which constitutes the basis for professional qualification and practice, which consequently directly influences the internship process. This is a research with a qualitative approach, whose main instrument for the production of data consisted of 27 (twenty-seven) interviews, carried out with 20 (twenty) students of the undergraduate course in Social Work at PUC-Rio, 04 (four) social workers who supervise Social Work internships in institutions associated with PUC-Rio, 02 (two) professors who teach internship disciplines in the undergraduate course in Social Work at PUC-Rio, and with the Coordinator of Internships of the Department of Social Work at PUC-Rio, in the months of November and December 2022. At the end of this study, it was possible to delineate the profile of the students who did their internship in the first semester of 2020 and to analyze the internship experience, considering the implementation of Emergency Remote Teaching and the physical distance from their respective supervisors and internship fields, which created unprecedented challenges to be faced by the category, guided by the Ethical-Political Project of Social Service, materialized in the norms that govern the profession, such as the Profession Regulation Law (no. 8. 662/93), Code of Ethics (1993), Curricular Guidelines of 1996 (ABEPSS) and other specific regulations for the internship in Social Service in Brazil. The results were analyzed based on the theoretical foundations of this study, considering the main categories of analysis - Emergency Remote Teaching, Internship in Social Work, Ethical-Political Project - that guided the research.
