TEACHER’S PROFESSIONALIZATION

A STUDY ON ACADEMIC PRODUCTION OF THE GRADUATION PROGRAM ON EDUCATION AT THE FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF SERGIPE

Resumo

The present work has as general objective to understand the approach of the theme of “teacher’s professionalization”, realized through the academic research of the Graduate Program on Education (PPGED) of the Federal University of Sergipe (Universidade Federal de Sergipe – UFS). It’s been clear that the terms “qualification and professionalization” are related and complement each other on the teacher’s profession. The professor is a relation’s professional. Nóvoa (1992a) materializes that to the teacher’s qualification, the individual and collective development are indispensable to the professor, promoting a change component to the challenges and the permanent search for knowledge. The understanding is that being a teacher is to daily self educate by means of learning, by which the produced knowledge results into new relations with another knowledge, which in its turn generates new meanings. In these perspective, was realized a research on the theoretical framework about “teacher’s professionalization”, in the scope of reflective involvement face to the teacher’s qualification, presented in the dissertations’ and thesis’ titles of PPGED, The analyzed researches had focused, in their majority, in academic teaching, leading to the belief that the scientific examination of the questions related to basic teaching issues are restricted to the undergraduate term research.
