Teaching professionalization: challenges and demands of initial education and perspectives of professional development of beginner teachers
Teacher Initial education. Professional induction. Social demands.
This research investigates public policies aimed at teacher education and their repercussions on the professionalization of beginner teachers. To this end we resume the trajectory of teacher education by the Pedagogy course, from its creation in 1939 to the current guidelines considering the contradictions and ambiguities, as well as the advances and setbacks constructed historically and legally within the scope of training and performance of this professional. The motivation for the conduct of this study emerges from discussions on initial teacher education policies in recent decades. These discussions show that, given the new educational demands, education processes have revealed the need to think of the task of teaching in all their complexity, which requires changes in teaching and learning approaches, and, consequently, in the field of teaching professional education. Thus, the general objective of this investigation is to understand how the teacher's professionalization of beginner teachers occurs from the experience of professional induction of graduates of the UFPI Pedagogy Course. Given the contemporary requirements of teaching, it is essential to question the patterns of the formation established in educational public policies. In this context, it seeks to critically reflect on the initial teacher education and their implications in the process of professional induction from the perspectives of UFPI graduates. The study is characterized as qualitative, in view of its object of social analysis, and adopts an explanatory approach. The data will be collected from the narratives produced through semi-structured interviews, which will be categorized and analyzed from a critical-dialectic perspective.
