Aprendendo a ser professor: contribuições da Rede de Aprendizagem da Docência (ReAD)
Resumo
The objective of this research has been to investigate how ReAD (Teaching and
Learning Development Net) contributed for the overcoming and operation of difficulties
beginner teachers who participated the first offer of this learning net (2016) had. With
its hybrid character, the net integrated experienced and novice (with less than five years
of experience) teachers as well as graduating students from college courses of
Pedagogy. The READ goal was to foment the exchange and interaction among the
participants and discussing issues related to teaching and difficulties faced by novice
teachers at the beginning of one’s career. The theoretical reference was lined in
literature about both novice and experienced teachers and the apprenticeship of
teaching. The data was collected through three main instruments, the activities produced
during ReAD’s development, an online quiz, which had as respondents’ five teachers,
and an online interview that used four beginner teachers who completed all the
proposed activities. The results show the struggles in the beginning of a teacher’s career
and the lack of support those professionals face, besides the limitations of the initial
teacher education. The results also show the importance of the integration of
professionals in different steps of their career through a learning net, in order to share
experiences and enhance knowledge regarding the teaching career.
