Identidade e profissionalização docente: um estudo de caso na licenciatura em Química da UFRPE/UAST

Abstract

The constitution of the teaching identity has long been studied in the area of human sciences in order to better understand the processes and influences present in this discussion in the training of teachers. In the literature, several authors show that the constitution of identity is influenced not only by the experiences of the initial formation of teachers, but also by experiences and experiences prior to this formative process. The purpose of this monograph is to analyze aspects of the construction of the identity and professional professionalization of undergraduate students in chemistry based on the influences of the supervised stage and / or processes prior to initial training experienced by the subjects in this construction. The study is characterized as a qualitative case study, but with some quantitative data regarding the profile of the participants. A total of 8 chemistry graduates from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFRPE) at the Academic Unit of Serra Talhada-PE (UAST), at the end of the course, completed the subjects of compulsory traineeships. A semi-structured interview was conducted, individually, with the intention of understanding through the interviews the experiences lived by the participants in various moments of the process of constitution of the identity. The interviews were audio-taped and later transcribed and analyzed based on elements of Content Analysis (BARDIN, 2016). In the results, the thematic analysis pointed to aspects of teacher identity and professional development, from the categories highlighted in the analysis, of which the following stand out: influences and the relationship with teachers, the processes of rupture that lead to decision making in relation to the teaching career. In addition to other aspects evidenced in the analysis of oppositions, of which the following stand out: the inexperience with teaching and the importance of the programs that aid in teacher training were some of the aspects pointed out in the text. These contributions become pertinent to the research because it deals with the experience of these future teachers when involved in this intimate and subjective process that is the constitution of the identity profile and aspects that lead to professionalization.
