CONCEPTIONS AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSTITUTION OF PUBLIC POLICIES ON CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR BASIC EDUCATION TEACHERS AMONG LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIE
Continuing Education Policies; Teaching Work; Latin America.
The idea behind this work arises from questioning and reflections on teacher education, with a focus on public policies for continuing education in Latin America. We justify the research based on personal, social, and scientific relevance assumed, related to the field of political intentions, which impact teacher training and constitution. The research intends to understand the philosophical, epistemological, and educational orientation elements that constitute the policies of continuing education for teachers in Basic Education among countries in Latin America. As an epistemological field, the research assumes a quantitative and qualitative methodological approach, attributing the basis of data analysis to historical-dialectical materialism, situating the object in time, space, particularity and generality, in similarities, differences, and contradictions, both in the material base (world of work) and immaterial, ideas, representations, and discourses. In the methodological path, a literature review is intended to be carried out, with the purpose of organizing the main studies and research conducted comparing continuing education for basic education teachers in Brazil, Chile, and Cuba between 2016 and 2021. This will lead us to understand the theories, thoughts, and research that define public policies for teacher education, especially the proposals for continuing education, among the analyzed countries. Then, we present a brief historical overview of each country, relating an initial discussion about the concept of the State with the constituent reactions of the historical bloc and the resulting public policies for teacher education from such a movement.
