A recepção da política nacional de formação de professores 1996 - 2005: o caso do "Parâmetros em Ação", em Serra Branca-PB.

Abstract

In this work we study the National Policy of Schoolteachers Training, more specifically the Continuing Professional Development Program entitled Parameters in Action, analysing the case of Serra Branca City, in Paraíba State. In this case study we focus the reception of the policy mentioned by local schoolteachers and school administrators. The theoretical perspective we use was the contribution of Pierre Bourdieu. Our methodology consisted of direct observation and informal dialogues with a sample of subjects involved in the local education system. We carried out thirty structured interviews and we took up life stories of twelve schoolteachers. The research work we carried out confirmed our hypothesis according to which the policy studied has an authoritarian nature, evidenced by its imposed strategies, by its homogenising contents and by its centralising model of decision making, despite its explicit discourse of democratic intervention.
