A escola como espaço de formação contínua para os professores dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This work presents a study about the training of teachers in the early years of Elementary School in the school institution and seeks to understand the reflections builted by the group of teachers, coordinators, and managers of the school, as well as the conditions of life and work, in which the process of training was developed. For this reason, it was based on an experience of in-service training in a public school in the city of Fortaleza, whose work was been developed since 2006. As reasoning for reaching the goals of this study, it was found support in the formulations of Nóvoa (1997), Lima (2001), Imbernón (2010; 2011) and Sacristán (2010) on the process of continuing education of teachers, formulated to break the relationship of this process with the professional development. In Canário (1997) it is found support to discuss the school as a space of training for teachers, with the light of the thought of Freire (1996) and Garcia (1999) who discussed professional development, among other authors that were used to build this work. The corpus analyzed is the result of a search of a qualitative nature, come from a case study of ethnographic type, formed from three methodological tools: the comments field in a period of one year and four months, where were observed moments of training and planning, the semi-structured interviews, used with four teachers, the vice-director, a pedagogical coordinator and the director of the Municipal School Edith Braga, located in Fortaleza, under the jurisdiction of Regional Executive Secretary VI - VI. The data revealed that the training gains in the school were more significant because there was the group of teachers in partnership with the coordination and management, in a process of training and self permanent formation, where the individual experiences and collective were set in learning, in various knowledge. However, this training is not developed in a peaceful environment, with conditions for its implementation, so, the school find alternatives to circumvent the obstacles that prevent the occurrence of this training. It was concluded that for the school become a training area for your teachers it is need a greater decentralization of training policies in favor of the school. The teachers will recognize that space and the activities developed as necessary and important for their professional development.
