O professor formador no PNAIC: formação, experiência e atuação

Abstract

This study aimed to answer the following question: who was the teacher educator who worked in the National Pact for Literacy in the Right Age (PNAIC), during the period of creation of the program until 2016, since, from 2017, MEC announced structural changes in the program. What was the training, experience and performance? It is a training program offered by the MEC, which has as one of the axes of its action, the continuing education for literacy teachers, considering the national goal established in the National Education Plan (PNE) to alphabetize all children up to, 8 years of age. The PNAIC brought the novelty of allowing another formative figure to integrate the university as a trainer - the teacher with the riddle of experience. This was the agent that this research sought to know, from the center of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. The choice of this field as a field of research was related to the experience of this institution not only with the initial formation, but also with the continuing teacher education, being one of the pioneer universities in the work with this formative action and for selecting trainers, preferably with experience as literacy teachers. I was interested to understand, from the testimony of the trainers who acted in this polo, how they learned their experiences and performance. It was also sought from these trainers the opinion of the other members of the team working in the training in the said institution of education, in the period from 2012 to 2016, to understand if they perceived a possible relationship between the role of the trainer and its possibility of integrating the university-school formative instances. For this, in the methodological aspect, the development of this study was articulated to the qualitative approach, having, as instruments for the collection of data, the accomplishment of bibliographical revision on the context of the teacher training for the initial years of Basic Education, the documentary survey on the PNAIC and also semi-structured interviews with all the training agents of the university, which constitute the training center of the Zona da Mata and Campo das Vertentes, and also a Secretary of Education of one of the municipalities in this area of the pole . The common factor of the research instruments was the treatment of the data corpus supported in content analysis. The analysis of the research data maintains a dialogue with researchers in the field of formation, such as António Nóvoa, Bernadette Angelina Gatti, Elza de Sá Barreto, Marli Eliza Damalzo Afonso André, Iria Brzezinsk, Denise Vaillant, Max Butlen, Agnese Infantino, Celestino Alves da Silva Junior. It is hoped that the study contributes to the recording of effects of the trainer's presence in a program of this nature and with suggestions for future actions of teacher training policies that aim at professional teacher development.
