Abstract

This thesis has as its theme the National Training Plan for Basic Education Teachers (Parfor). The empirical field includes the Parfor Pedagogical Training course of the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR), campus Curitiba. The research problem was thus stated: What is the meaning of the Parfor Training Course of the Parfor of the UTFPR for the cursist teachers acting in basic education? The general objective is to analyze the meanings of the Parfor Pedagogical Training course assigned by the UTFPR students. The specific objectives are to systematize the legal framework of teacher education policies in Brazil; to explain the policies of teacher education in basic education, at secondary and higher level, with emphasis on pedagogical training; identify the organization of teacher training in primary schools at the secondary level and that of upper secondary schools and to analyze the importance of Parfor in teacher training. The guiding axes of the theoretical framework are the training policies of teachers in secondary and higher education for action in basic education and the National Policy for the Training of Professionals of the Magisterium of Basic Education, fomented by Capes and instituted by Decree 6,755/2009 and their unfolding. The study revisits the history of teacher education policies, presenting it from the Jesuit education and the Law of October 15, 1827, since it is considered the starting point for the State to assume public and free education, as a right of the Brazilian citizen. In contextualizing the historical and political aspects of teacher training programs, Parfor recognizes that since 2009, this training process is feasible and part of the development of the strategic plans, with the objective of improving the quality of basic education. Research is guided by dialectical historical materialism. The research is a qualitative approach, with a case study, having as methodological procedures documentary analysis, questionnaire, interview with the Course Coordinator and the reflections made in a discussion group. The research subjects are 13 professors in training at UTFPR and the Coordinator of the course. The categories of analysis of the empirical material show the profile of the cursist teachers; the reasons for the search for Pedagogical Training; the difficulties faced in the development of the course and its significance in the training and acting of the cursist in the classroom. As a result, we note the progress in the development of these emergency teacher education policies to qualify teachers who work in basic education, in compliance with current legislation, emphasizing the importance of pedagogical training for teachers.
