Desenvolvimento profissional de futuros professores: travessias que se entrecruzam em contextos formativos

This study aimed to understand how the educational context contributes to the professional development of future teachers on introduction to teaching practice. To this end, we seek to characterize what the learning and the difficulties experienced in training contexts by future teachers, as well as the intrinsic elements to the training contexts that enable professional development. The investigated contexts were the Institutional Program Initiation Grant to Teaching (Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência – PIBID), specifically the sub-projects of Chemistry and Physics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte – UFRN) and Masters in Teaching of Physics and Chemistry of the University of Lisbon (MEFQ ). In both contexts, the future teachers are in contact with the school in a systematic way. The methodology used in our study is rooted in qualitative research with interpretative guidance and the design in the study of multiple cases with instrumental purpose. Participated in this study as the main subject, 40 future teachers PIBID of Physics, 24 PIBID future teachers of Chemistry and 5 future Master Teachers in Teaching Chemistry and Physics. As supporting subjects, participated in 3 PIBID Area Coordinators, the teacher of Introduction to Professional Practice of MEFQ, and 8 teachers who teach chemistry and / or physics in public schools. Multiple data collection tools were used: naturalistic observation, descriptive questionnaire, individual interviews, focus groups, reading of written records and official documents. In analyzing the data, we used the method of questioning and constant comparison. The results showed that the main learning of future teachers are related to the strategy employed in class, the change in the understanding of the role of teacher and student in the classroom, the construction of the professional profile and the development of collaborative practices. The main difficulties were related to the development of activities, the management of time and group, the dynamics of the classroom and the material conditions of work. The characteristics inherent in training contexts investigated for professional development are: the practice itself of the research, the collaboration, the focused reflection on practice, focus on student learning and the improving public schools. From the results, it is evidenced that the training contexts centered at school have the capability to resize the practice based on the analysis of actions, in a collaborative work as well as create opportunities for awareness of the concepts, the acting and the way to understand the profession. It is needed for effective mediation trainers, so that future teachers undertake their own practice and, therefore, they can build teaching strategies that promote learning which, in addition to increase the quality of education, favor the professional development throughout life.

Caminhos da professoralidade no Curso de Dança da UFU: impasses e desafios na construção da identidade profissional

Teacher identity is a subject of study and discussion in the academic world whichhas become an object of attention of researchaddressing teaching and teacher formation. Life history, initial and continuing formation, the meaning of teaching to the teacher, and also pedagogical practice are all contributing factors to teachers’ professional identity. The present study is a proposal developed in the research field of Educational Knowledge and Practice, and its main focus lies in university teaching. Higher education teaching in the context of a dance course, and the issues and challenges of constructing teachers’ professional identity are presented. Thus, my main questions were: what is the teaching path followed by newly hired dance teachers in the Federal University of Uberlândia? How is teaching identity developed in these new teachers’ professional socialization process? What kind of educational knowledge is (re)produced and mobilized by teachers when they join university teaching? In order to answer these questions, my objectives are: to analyze the teaching path of the newly hired dance teachers of the Federal University of Uberlândia; to investigate how their teaching identity is built within their professional socialization process; and identify the kinds of educational knowledge they (re)produce and mobilize as soon as they become university teachers. The present research comprises a qualitative data analysis from previous studies on the subject, having as starting point relevant bibliographic research, followed by an identification questionnaire and an interview conducted with the newly hired dance teachers. The construction of teaching identity is related to objective and subjective conditions involving a teaching job and how the teacher perceives this identity as constantly evolving. Hence I understand the importance of personal and institutional incentives to prepare studies which raise or problematize issues specific to this area, contributing to extend the debate over higher education professionals’ formation, in particular that of dance course teachers on national scope.

O processo de subjetivação profissional durante os estágios supervisionados em psicologia

Internship is legally understood in Brazil as an overseen educational activity to be developed in a work setting aiming to prepare students to make productive work. According to the federal law number 11.788/08, its main aim is to provide students with competences directly related to the professional activity in a curricular context and to make students develop themselves to live as citizens and to work professionally. With a focus on the professionalizing internship, this research aimed at understanding the professional subjectiveness process of Psychology undergraduates at a public university in the state Minas Gerais during their internship and according to a critic perspective in schooling psychology. The importance of studying psychologist academic training above all the relationship between theory and practice is on the fact that the internship is his/her initial contact with the professional experience itself after four years of theoretical studies. Understood as a way of appropriating and internalizing theoretical and practical dimensions related to the psychologist profession and constructed by the individual, the concept of professional subjectiveness is viewed in the light of the cultural-historical theory, that is, as a result of the human being social constitution. Three Psychology s intern students and their respective overseers were interviewed during their internship period to talk about the process of professional constitution at this phase of the academic training. To do so, oral history proved to be an important methodological support, for it offers a means of giving voice to common people and letting them signify their multi-circumstantial experiences. Results reiterate the presence of subjectivity in the dynamics of an undergraduate training, but they showed that it is permeated by social relations established in his/her personal life story and professional trajectory, stemming from the professional choice, the relationship between intern and overseer, the professional activity properly considered, the psychotherapy, the rules, and from the institutionalization of knowledge, among others aspects that guide the professional subjectiveness during the internship. We verified that the training of a Psychology undergraduate includes multiple determinations that exceed the academic setting because it points out the breaking down of the professional dimensions and personal one dichotomy.

For this, we used the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Quantitative variables were described as mean, standard deviation, maximum and minimum, in addition to the Shapiro-Wilk test and Kruskal-Wallis used in the data analysis, with a confidence level of 5% (p <0.05). Results: the profile of respondents, most are married 42 (58.3%) under the employment contract via Single Legal Regime 50 (69.4%) with mean age of 40 and having 16 years of service; and within a range of 0 to 100, the areas with better evaluation were the Social Relations (70.1) and psychological (67.5); already the worst were the Environment (57.4) and Physical (65.4). In the overall assessment, the average was 63.3 and staying below the national average (65-70). Thus, the professionals who were married obtained better scores, regardless of the category which is in the nursing team. Conclusions: The group is average, taking into account the standard deviation, but we can say that working conditions affect their profession, and these results allow the detection of the difficulties experienced by men of the nursing team, and can cooperate with the design strategies that benefit or minimize the search for conflicts that affect the health of these workers and their quality of life.

Contributos dos Cursos EFA no desenvolvimento pessoal, profissional e comunitário

A educação e formação de adultos (EFA) é imprescindível na atual sociedade, pois esta está em constante transformação, sendo necessário a atualização dos indivíduos, ou seja os conhecimentos e as experiências são cada vez mais privilegiados especialmente em contexto profissional exigindo dos indivíduos mais qualificação. Assim, educar e formar não passa só pela educação formal (ensino tradicional), mas também pela educação não formal centrada nas aprendizagens ao longo da vida, tendo essencialmente em conta o saber-fazer adquirido através das práticas do quotidiano, tornando esta tipologia de ensino mais dinâmica e inclusiva, pois tem em conta as características do indivíduo certificando os seus saberes, competências e práticas através dos cursos de educação e formação de adultos, por exemplo o RVCC que foi mencionado no decorrer do presente trabalho. É importante salientar, que os saberes e competências que são adquiridos no quotidiano também podem ser de carácter informal (educação informal), estando por isso presentes aprendizagens involuntárias obtidas em contexto familiar ou social. Pode-se afirmar que o ensino não está unicamente reservado aos mais novos (crianças e jovens), mas também direcionado para os adultos e seniores, considerando que as aprendizagens podem ser obtidas na educação formal, não-formal e informal. Assim, cada tipologia será importante em distintas faixas etárias ou em determinados momentos da vida. Neste sentido, a investigação pretende compreender a perspetiva dos formandos e formadores/coordenadores dos cursos EFA do concelho de Leiria, nomeadamente no que diz respeito aos contributos que esta tipologia de formação proporcionou, bem como a perspetiva dos formandos/coordenadores em relação a este. Assim, na recolha de dados utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa, usando como técnicas de recolha dos dados os inquéritos por entrevista e por questionário.

A Influência da avaliação do desempenho docente na satisfação profissional dos professores do ensino público.

As transformações ocorridas nos últimos anos no sistema educativo despertaram a necessidade de melhorar os níveis de aprendizagem e sucesso escolar dos alunos, orientando as políticas para reformas que abrangessem a qualidade dos professores e do ensino. O sistema de avaliação do desempenho desenvolvido nos últimos anos tem como objetivos principais a melhoria da qualidade do ensino bem como a valorização e o desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional dos docentes. O nosso estudo tem como finalidade averiguar se a avaliação do desempenho docente tem influência na satisfação profissional dos professores do ensino público. Para a sua concretização realizou-se um estudo numa abordagem quantitativa, junto de 80 professores contratados e do quadro, posicionados em diferentes escalões da carreira docente e a exercerem funções em diferentes níveis de ensino e em diferentes grupos de recrutamento em 10 agrupamentos de escolas. O estudo permitiu concluir que para a maior parte dos docentes inquiridos a avaliação do desempenho docente não teve influência na sua satisfação profissional.

Prática profissional do Assistente Social no contexto da Incapacidade Intelectual

O presente trabalho de investigação designado “Prática Profissional do Assistente Social no contexto da Incapacidade Intelectual” tem como objetivo conhecer os procedimentos de intervenção dos Assistentes Sociais no âmbito da Incapacidade Intelectual. Realizado um aprofundamento teórico e conceptual sobre a Incapacidade Intelectual, sobre a resposta social para a Incapacidade Intelectual (Centro de Atividades Ocupacionais e Lar Residencial) sobre a prática do Assistente Social no âmbito da Incapacidade Intelectual. Encetámos uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo descritivo que se socorreu da entrevista estruturada para recolher dados junto de três Assistentes Sociais de duas instituições da zona centro do país no ano lectivo de 2014/2015. A análise de conteúdo aos dados levantados permite-nos concluir que o Serviço Social é uma profissão de intervenção, onde o Assistente Social desempenha as funções de mediador de facilitador de capacitador entre as famílias e os clientes, aconselhando-os e possibilitando-lhe o diálogo a outros serviços. Os dados revelaram, ainda, que o Assistente Social desenvolve o seu trabalho com a família, com os clientes, com a equipa técnica e ainda com a comunidade, corroborando os resultados dos estudos de Carvalho (2013), Silva (2012) e Gomes (2010). Considerando a pertinência do trabalho do Assistente Social no contexto da Incapacidade Intelectual e a escassez de estudos nacionais sobre esta temática, este trabalho assume-se como o primeiro contributo científico facilitador da construção de um olhar crítico e reflexivo para futuros debates.
