Senses And Meanings Of The Work Of Teachers Who Work In Literacy Classes At The State And Education Secretariat Of The Federal District
Continuing Education for Teachers; State Centers for Continuing Education; Theoretical and Methodological Concepts.
This research project is linked to the research line of teaching profession: curriculum and evaluation, with the objective of analyzing the conceptions of teacher training present in the State Centers for Continuing Teacher Education in Brazil, identifying their foundations and operational frameworks based on their proposals and training agents. In Brazil, Continuing Teacher Education is a field that suffers from advances and setbacks, with teachers being the main affected by political and ideological disputes. The discontinuity of policies and programs related to different government proposals and the influence of international organizations, such as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which defend a neoliberal agenda of privatization of education and accountability of teachers for student learning outcomes, has presented a complex and contradictory scenario; it is a hegemonic project that aims at the subordination of society to the free market and the reduction of intervention by the public power, serving a neoliberal agenda that is sustained by a project of maintaining hegemony in the country. Thus, we understand that Historical and Dialectical Materialism is the method that will allow us to understand the historical, political and social reality of our object, together with the technique of Documentary. Analysis and the instruments of the questionnaire and interview. We have as theoretical references on the field of teacher training and continuing education policies the studies of Freitas (2005); Santos (2010); Curado Silva (2019); Saviani (2011 and 2016) among others. As partial findings, we perceive that there is a discontinuity of educational policies and programs, and these have been and are still intrinsically linked to a reformist agenda that seeks, through education, to train people for the labor market that meets the capitalist interests of maintaining the hegemonic status quo of the class division of society. Our object, the State Centers for Continuing Teacher Education, will allow us to understand, through the study of their conceptual and methodological contributions, whether they contribute to the maintenance or resistance of this panorama.
