Saberes e autonomia docente: um diálogo entre elementos imprescindíveis à formação do professor

Abstract

The present work unfolds from the dissertation “A river on the way: schooling processes of riverside students in an urban school context”, presented in 2019 as an evaluation criterion for the title of Master in Education to the Graduate Program in Education (from the Institute of Educational Sciences of the Federal University of Pará). In the interim, “Teacher knowledge and autonomy: a dialogue between elements essential to teacher education”, is characterized as bibliographic research, which aims to understand the peculiar relations to knowledge and autonomy, discussing how this interaction has been constituted in the teacher training process. Therefore, we sought theoretical contribution in the works of Freire (1996), Contreras (2002), and Tardif (2014), authors who focused on the apprehension and approach of such categories (knowledge and autonomy) linked to the formative context of those who are responsible for the formal educational practice of the subjects. The results of the study show that the constitution of autonomy is directly associated with the improvement of knowledge. Thus, teacher education must consider the relevance of knowledge as fundamental to the promotion of teacher autonomy.
