A relação professor-aluno: entre e imaginários, identificações e negociações

Abstract

This text is the result of a research developed during the Doctorate course in the Postgraduation in Education Program of the Federal University of Santa Maria, linked to the research line called Training, Knowledge and Professional Development. The central focus of research is the relationship between school subjects, teachers and students, and their influences on teaching. The teacherstudent relationship is seen here as the central element of teaching, seen as an interactive work. This research starts with a basic question: what is the influence, in the constitution of professional identification and imaginary teachers, of the different ways of relationships established between teachers and students in two diferent High Schools? To do so, the field research was conducted in two High Schools in the city of Rio Grande do Sul State, during the year of 2011. Therefore, the methodological working option was settle with narrative interviews with teachers as a way of gaining access to their perceptions of their career and professional socialization and the place that interactions with students occupy in their identity constitution and in their imagery. To understand the perspective of students, focus groups were conducted with two groups of high school students of the selected schools. The analyzes suggest that there are cultural trading relations in both schools, among various groups of students and teachers. Despite this common feature, it is possible to say that in the public school, the images and identifications between teachers and students are more divergent, and, in the private school, a little more convergent. It is possible to say that the trading relation between teachers and students influence and are influenced by the images and the attributed and acquired identifications by teachers and students.
