MOTIVAÇÃO PARA A CARREIRA DOCENTE E CONSTRUÇÃO DE IDENTIDADES: O PAPEL DOS PESQUISADORES EM ENSINO DE QUÍMICA

This research aims to identify the reasons that lead students to pursue a specific course of chemistry teacher training, i.e., their perspectives on the course and the teaching career, and if they are motivated by trainers to become basic education (BE) teachers. It was concluded that most students did not want to be teachers of BE. They identified through the social context of the course that the teachers focused on the area of chemistry teaching sought to motivate them for this career, whereas the teachers of these specific areas of chemistry encouraged them to seek other career opportunities.
