A formação continuada de professores no ensino técnico profissionalizante: a (re)construção da profissionalidade em tempos de paradigma emergente

摘要

The present study aims to investigate and problematize the issue of teacher continuing education in a complex vision, focusing the interest in knowing more and better teachers and their teaching in order to find out which paths used to (re)build their professionalism. Accordingly, it seeks to analyze the formation processes that help (or not) teachers to respond to the demands, the expectations, the diversity and richness of possibilities inside and outside the classroom. The methodology represents a case study with a qualitative approach, descriptive, leading to the apprehension of empirical material in an intimate approach between the researcher and the object being investigated. For data collection procedure was used as the systematic observation of teaching activities in the school routine and semi-structured individual interviews with questions like how to get information about the significant experiences incorporated as formative experiences. The research involved six teachers of an institution of technical education in the city of Porto Alegre/RS. Data were organized and interpreted through Textual Analysis of Discourse, by itself constitute an effort to deepen the understanding of a text or a set of texts, which can generate a new one, both descriptive and interpretive. Based on the analysis of the data reveals that teachers want to change their action, but often fail to develop methodological approaches for the renewal of their practice - either because they broke with a structured way to educate the traditional paradigm, either because they did not see the school as a training space that enables the reform of their action; there is a concern about their participation and responsibility in school life, since teachers do not perceive the school as a space for collective construction; notes also continued education is questioned by some teachers, claiming to be necessary to rethink it. It is understood that teacher training and professionalism will only make sense if contemplating this whole trajectory – personal and professional – of teachers, that is, their conception of life, school, education, interests, needs, abilities and also their fears, anxieties, difficulties and limitations.
