| Abstract | |
This work investigates the construction of teachers' professional identities in a teachers' continuing education course. The course, offered the Institute of Studies of the Language, State University of Campinas (UNICAMP, Brazil) was part of a Program called "Teia do Saber", offered by the Secretary of Education in the state of São Paulo to primary and secondary school teachers. The research adopts the sociocultural approach of New Literacy Studies (STREET, 1984; KLEIMAN, 1995, 2001) and the dialogical and social Bakhtin Circle's conception of language (BAKHTIN, 1988, 2003; BAKHTIN/VOLOCHINOV, 1995). The study considers that identities are multiple (HALL, 1998) and are constructed and reconstructed in discursive practices, and assumes that the process of professional formation is identitary. The aim of the research is to understand how the teachers' identification with practices, concepts, theories is constructed, during interaction. The findings reveal that the teachers bring to the interaction voices that circulate in academic and journalistic spheres in order to strengthen as a professional group in their interactions with their instructors and with each other. We show, through the analysis of the course interaction structures of participation (CAZDEN, 1988; SCHULTZ; FLORIO; ERICKSON, 1982; GARCEZ; RIBEIRO, 2002; GARCEZ, 2002) the ways in which teachers are positioned and position themselves discursively and the how the institutional and asymmetric situation is implicated in the construction of identities in the course, showing how a collective body is argumentatively formed In the identification process that is under way, teachers also dialogue with voices from other continuing education courses (AU) | |
