Política de formação continuada de professores: identidade e trabalho docente em escolas da Rede Estadual de Ensino de Mato Grosso.

Abstract

This dissertation is in the field of teacher education, delimiting the policy of continuing education for teachers in the state public education system of Mato Grosso as an object of study, focusing on the training that takes place within the schools. The main goal was to analyze such policy in order to identify possible implications between the continuing education of teachers in the school and the constitution of the teachers' identity and teachers' work through the analysis of the principles and conceptions that support this training. The dissertation is guided by the following question: how the principles and conceptions of this training have contributed to the characterization of the identity and teaching work in this policy of continuing education for teachers in schools of the state public education system of Mato Grosso? In terms of theoretical-methodological approaches, the research was based on Ball's policy cycle. This author highlights politics as a continuous cycle, in which three contexts stand out: context of influence, context of text and context of practice. In this study, this continuing education policy for teachers mentioned here was analyzed under the policy cycle approach. Concepts inspired by Foucault's studies were used to analyze power and normalization in education. The research methodology comes from a qualitative perspective, with data collection using the bibliographic, documentary study, interviews, conversation circles and group observation in school units that took part of the research. The findings of the study indicate that the principles and conceptions of training present in the state policies have contributed to the constitution of the teachers' identity and teaching work through the resignification of the policy produced by teachers, but there are actions that can result in the control and regulation, as the policy contains clear marks of managerialism.
