Subjetividade docente : identidade e trajetória do ser professor

Abstract

The theme of this research is teaching subjectivity. We attempted to identify, in the path of personal and professional lives of teachers, through their reports, the constituent elements of teaching and how they consider that these elements interfere with their professional choices. It is considered that there is a close relationship between personal and professional life of the teacher, how he constructs his subjectivity, takes his professional career on or incorporates it, thus, we tried to make explicit what difference this subject produces on himself, once conscious and reflective about his teacher identity. We also tried to establish links to identify interfaces with the educational welfare and educational unease in current personal and professional performance. This research theoretic referential founds itself on the Marist pedagogical framework as well as authors like Nóvoa, Josso, Jesus, Esteve, Huberman, Mosquera, Stobäus and Gonzalez Rey. The research is a quantitative and qualitative study conducted with 73 teachers from Marist School of Rosario, Porto Alegre, using the instrument for assessment of variables that are indicators of educational welfare and educational unease, analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics and semistructured interviews of Jesus and the technique of content analysis of Bardin, supplemented with elements of Institutional Assessment and Marist Network Evaluation System (SIMA). The results point to a training path that considers the entirety of the profession. In the quantitative approach, factors as educational welfare and identification with the profession were revealed, pointing good results in the variables: professional project, professional commitment and intrinsic motivation, what means, they recognize themselves in this profession they wish to stay in it and they feel motivated for the pedagogical work. In the qualitative part it was identified that there is an inseparability between personal and professional life of the teacher, because their choices show their beliefs and the learning which they have built; being recognized in the profession is a determinant factor for them which makes them feel fit for the performance of their functions and that the institution where they work builds the professional they are as well as the professional they want to be. It was revealed that the feeling of belonging to this place creates identity and alterity to these professionals of education. On the concluding remarks we emphasize the need for continuing education that takes into account the personal and professional elements in an institution that guarantees and offers space for hospitality, innovation and maintenance of Marist ideals.
