Formação continuada de professores na escola do campo : com a palavra os docentes do ensino médio

Abstract

This research, linked to the Line of Research Culture, Curriculum and Training of Educators, of the PostGraduation Program in Education, of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, investigates the continuing education of high school teachers in discursive bias of teachers, with the purpose to understand how this process develops in the context of the countryside public school. The study is based on the historical-cultural approach seeks in the thoughts of Bakhtin (2003, 2010, 2011) and Freire (1967, 1987, 1997, 2010) concepts of language, dialogism, incompleteness and education; we dialogue with the idea of school culture discussed by Forquin (1993) and with Nóvoa (1995) that conceives professionals teachers with autonomy to think their continuing education and the applicable changes to the reality in which they are committed, among other researchers who help us to understand the contours and challenges of the continuing education of high school teachers. The research developed from the study of a particular case occurred by a case study accomplished with teachers in an elementary and high school in a public school on the state of Espírito Santo, located in the municipality of São Roque do Canaã. We used as procedures for the production of data the observation, the questionnaire, the interview and we expanded the methodological route with documentary analysis. The investigated context suggests that the process of continuing education for high school teachers involves education pathways that started in the human socialization process, through academic, extending up to the courses and reflexive situations that occurred in the relations established in life, in the interactions on exercise of the teaching function, in the dynamics of school work. We argue that the teacher singularly constitutes himself subject of his formation to recognize the condition of his incompleteness and his need for completeness by the other. This formation process is configured in initiatives protagonized by teachers who are open to reflect about their experiences and practices in the school seaching for meaning in their relations with the social, cultural and professional world in front of the challenges experienced in the countryside middle school.
