Narratives of graduates of the Pedagogy course with Qualification in Early Childhood Education and Early Years: experiences of inhabiting the teaching profession

Abstract

This work aimed to understand how the training experiences of teachers who graduated from the Pedagogy Training Program with Qualification in Initial Series at the State University of Feira de Santana (UEFS) interact with their pedagogical practices in everyday school life in Basic Education. Methodologically, the study is anchored in Narrative Research, with an emphasis on the biographical-narrative movement, as it aims to explore the meanings of life-training-profession stories. As an information production device, we used the Narrative Interview, which was carried out with 6 (six) collaborators. Mobilizing transversal concepts of the educational practice developed in the daily life of Basic Education, the research revealed the existence of gaps in in-service training and the obstacles that some collaborators faced during their training, but which were not enough to make them give up on continuing with training. at the University. Another result evidenced in the present study is that the daily life lived by the narrators, after graduating, became a space for reinvention in its multiplicities of motivational modes, in which each teacher understands the training space as a place for transformative reflexivity, generating thus an emancipated social transformation, revealed and woven into the different ways in which each person inhabits the teaching profession in Basic Education.
