Construção de identidade da prática docente no Brasil: um olhar por meio da mídia

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the treatment that is given to the teaching practice, especially in news from newspapers, as well as showing the possible identity constructions established by the media to this practice. For that, we used a theoretical basis, initially, in authors of Critical Discourse Analysis, such as Van Dijk (2008); Fairclough (1992); Resende (2012); and other scholars dealing with the theme. Regarding the notion of identity, we rely on authors from Sociology and Linguistics, such as Bauman (2005); Castells (2018); Kleiman (1998); Moita Lopes (1998); Hall (1999), among others. The corpus of the work is delimited in news taken from Jornal da Paraíba (JPB) online, in the period that corresponds from the year 2010 to 2020. Were collected five news that mentioned the teaching practice. Our purpose was to investigate the identity construction of teaching practice in Brazil through the media, whether it occurred positively or negatively, whether teachers had discursive access to this news, and how this access was given. Also, we observed the selection of lexical items that made up the news headline. As for methodological procedures, we employ the following categories: (I) discursive access; (II) analysis of the titles. The first results confirmed the hypothesis that the way the media reports teaching practice contributes to the construction of a negative teaching identity in Brazil.
