O plural e o singular: o ensino de História entre a formação de professores e o sujeito que narra

Abstract

The present work is linked to the Research Line 2 - School Practice and Public Policy, from the Program in Education, Federal University of Santa Maria. Our goal is to search through the narrative identity of graduated teachers in the course of history from UFSM, as the initial training has involved the work of each of them in their life trajectories and how each subject interprets the social place of the History Teaching. For this, we interviewed four teachers. Based on this goal, we guide our research, in which the identity narrative (RICOEUR, 1997, 2000, 2006) had highlighted through approach (auto)biographical (DELORYMOMBERGER, 2008, 2011) (JOSSO, 2002, 2006). The narratives showed that, for teachers investigated, training is life history, is a process that is not limited to a particular time or formal practices. Thus, the primary training is in political activism, the affirmation of sexual orientation, in the struggle for social movements, the influence and example of the teachers, trainers and not just the course itself. In their view, the initial training is always present, even when it comes to needs, and cannot be separated from work, in relation to theoretical perspectives, and historiographical utopian Education and History Teaching. The narratives showed, similarly, that, at first, in the course of history from UFSM, education was a major concern because teacher training was intended solely to teaching in basic education. However, with the strengthening of post-graduation and payment of the curriculum for the training and licensed, this scenario, in a second moment, shifted and began to prioritize research over teaching, encouraging the research career. According to the study subjects, the initial training is considered crucial, since it modifies the academic and the look that this has on society, theory, policy, which will determine how it will act in their teaching practice school. It was observed, also, through narratives, that the work is not just seen as something painful, but as the determining factor in job satisfaction. In the reports of four subjects, the production of knowledge in the classroom is a praxis rewarding, full of meanings. This relates to the roles of the social place of the Teaching of History, which is seen as having a place of questioning society essentially critical, oppositional and emancipatory for student training area of historical awareness and training policy.
