Sentidos atribuídos às relações formativas no âmbito do Programa Professor Aprendiz

Abstract

This research had as objective to know the formative process that is established in the relationship between a regent teacher and a trainee of the Teacher Apprentice Program, in the city of Sorocaba. Specific objectives were defined: to investigate how the participants understand the Teacher Apprentice Program and to understand the meanings attributed to the formative experiences evidenced in this relationship throughout the process. For this, the research was based on historical-dialectical materialism and historical-cultural theory, especially from the concept of meaning for Vygotsky, using as methodological strategies semi-structured interviews, participant observation and recording in field journals . The results indicated that: a) the senses attributed by the regent teacher, as the educating student although they highlight positive aspects, such as the possibility of constructing knowledge about teaching, also point to the absence of time / space for studies and reflections about teaching , configuring itself as a relation of teaching-learning close to the technical rationality; b) the formative relationship investigated presents weaknesses as it is not favored in the discussion, the participation in institutional formative spaces and the accomplishment of joint planning, especially between the two participants; c) there was a deviation from the role of the educating student, demonstrating that their role or function is altered to meet the demands and lack of human resources existing in the school context, and d) no training was offered to the students, educators, teachers and managers by the Secretary of Education, as set out in the official guidelines of said Program. It is concluded that there are difficulties in the implementation of the Teacher Apprentice Program, which points to the need for adaptations and evaluation of its processes, in order to collaborate in the initial and continuous formation of educators.
