As representações profissionais de professores atuantes no ensino fundamental II sobre a identidade docente.

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the professional representations of teachers of Elementary School II (EF II) regarding teacher identity. It is based on the Theory of Social Representations / TRS, from Moscovici (1978), in Blin (1997) and Abdalla (2006, 2008, 2016, 2017), to understand the social and professional representations of these teachers; and in Dubar (1997, 2005), on the study of professional identity and socialization; as well as authors who dedicate themselves to training and professional practice. The research developed is articulated with the major research project entitled ""The Teacher of Elementary Education II: policies, practices and representations"", within the scope of the Research Group / CNPq ""Teaching Institutions: policies and pedagogical practices"", and also integrates, , the International Center for Social Representations and Subjectivity in Education / CIERS-Ed / FCC. It is a study that aims to subsidize reflections on the teaching actions developed in the contexts of training and work, in order to problematize the policies, practices and representations that configure the language of the professional field. The research takes a qualitative approach and is developed, methodologically, through the following steps: 1st application of a questionnaire for 20 teachers working in Elementary School II, containing 28 closed questions; and 2nd semistructured interviews with 05 teachers, who participated in the previous stage, in order to retake certain questions and deepen them. The results were analyzed through the technique of content analysis (BARDIN, 2007) and the theoretical-methodological references already mentioned, and configure three dimensions of analysis: identity, contextual and functional / professional. The identity dimension structures some of the professional representations of EF II teachers regarding their own teaching identity. The contextual dimension presents reflections on the structure and institutional organization and the influence of the work context on the identity constitution of the teachers participating in the research. And, finally, the functional / professional dimension seeks to analyze how the exercise of the activity and the professional image are represented by these subjects. In fact, it is hoped to contribute to the study of the relations between representations, practices and professional identities in interaction with the working context of the EF II.
