O papel do outro na constituição da profissionalidade de professoras iniciantes

Abstract

This paper focuses on the process of constructing the professionalism of beginning teachers, trying to identify the main challenges faced in their daily practices in early childhood education and in the first years of basic education. It also analyzes the elements that affect the identity and professional development of these teachers. The methodological procedures involved four discussion groups with graduates from the pedagogy course of three universities and a faculty in the state of São Paulo. The data collected showed that the relationships undertaken in the daily school life, whether with the students' parents, the school managers, the more experienced colleagues or the students, have a considerable weight in the constitution of the professionalism of these teachers and affect their professional identity.
