Abstract

The present research has the objective of studying the initial formation of teachers and the change of pedagogical practice, under the title: "From the professionalization to the change of the pedagogical practice: the contribution of the course of Pedagogy/Parfor of the Polo de Igarapé-Miri". As a general objective we set out to identify and analyze the contributions of the Pedagogy/Parfor course to change the pedagogical practices of the Igarapé-Miri teachers. The specific objectives of this research are to investigate the configurations of the National Vocational Training Policy of the Magisterium of Basic Education and its unfolding in the professionalization and teaching identity; to analyze how the educational reforms of the 1990s influenced the National Policy for Vocational Training of the Magisterium of Basic Education; to describe the Pedagogical Course Project (PPC) of Pedagogy/Parfor of the Cametá Campus, problematizing its local contextualization; to characterize, from the socioprofessional point of view, the group of teachers participating in the research; to situate from a theoretical point of view the debate about pedagogical practices within the school and to identify significant changes in the pedagogical practices of Pedagogia/Parfor teachers of Polo Igarapé-Miri and the nature of these changes. The research was based on the qualitative approach. We carried out a bibliographical review, documentary survey and later, a field study, which included the application of form and the accomplishment of semistructured interviews. We used as subjects informants of this research 10 teachers of the basic education of the course of Pedagogy / Parfor. The results show that the curriculum of the course was not elaborated considering the characteristics of the municipality, which is predominantly riverside. In turn, the disciplines that emphasized practical activities were the most celebrated by teachers, as well as those that gave them possible solutions to their daily work. We must also consider those disciplines that dialogue with the teachers' beliefs and perceptions regarding their relationship with themselves and with the students. The relationships that were established between teachers, students, other school professionals, parents and the community underwent a transformation, in some more intense, more noticeable. The affectivity surfaced, the look at the other, valuing the other. As for the professionalization, the teachers perceived it as professional ascension, salary improvement and pedagogical practice change. The course opened their horizons, raised their self-esteem and their understanding of their role in improving the educational process.
