A CONSTITUIÇÃO DA PROFISSIONALIDADE DOCENTE NA PERSPECTIVA DOS ESTUDANTES DO PIBID

Abstract

The present thesis is the result of an investigation that has teaching professionality as the object of study and, as the research field, the Institutional Program of Initiation to Teaching (PIBID). The objective is to verify if contact with the scope of work, at the beginning of the initial training course, favors the constitution of professionality endorsed by praxis. This is a study with a qualitative approach that made use of interviews, focus groups, and documentary analysis for data collection procedures. The subjects were the scholarship students of undergraduate courses in: Physics, Biology, History, Geography, Letters, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Pedagogy of the three universities of the State of Goiás (PUC Goiás, UEG, and UFG). For analysis of the focus group, content analysis was used, which enabled identification of the categories of analysis. To achieve the objectives proposed by the study, the work was organized into three chapters, being that in the first chapter I sought to contextualize the concept of teacher professionalism historically, which required that the relationship between the concepts of teaching professionalization, professionalism, and professionality be explained, and also to identify how these concepts are used by educational policies. In the second chapter I sought to situate the context of the emergence of PIBID, in order to identify the elements that shaped its emergence and understand it within the context of productive reorganization policies, as a way to understand the role of the Program in teacher training and also to identify the theoretical assumptions that underlie it. In the third chapter I dealt with the question of the relation between theory and practice experienced by scholarship students in PIBID and how this experience relates to contemporary approaches to teacher education. I give a description of the activities carried out by the scholarship students in the schools where subprojects were developed. From the analysis of the data it was possible to identify three pedagogical practices, being that in two there was no evidence that they added elements endorsed by praxis to the professionality of the future teacher, however, in one of the pedagogical practices elements of praxis endorsing professionality were identified, which led me to conclude that the dialectic of reality points out that even a Program such as the PIBID, which is based on educational principles oriented towards the formation of the worker, adjusted to the demands of the current capitalist reorganization, also preserves the possibility of its overcoming with a view to elaborating a pedagogical practice that seeks an emancipatory education.
