Abstract

MONFREDINI, Ivanise. Changes in the teacher's job and the place of knowledge in basic education. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2011, vol.33, n.133, pp.146-161. ISSN 0185-2698.

This article has as purpose to analyze the condition in which knowledge is realized, a significant part of the teaching work and profession. The main objective was to explain that knowledge is an aspect that, although it is essential for the teacher, can be diminished by the conditions of its realization and training. Especially important was the knowledge in the basic education of teachers, a moment in which teachers have to account this knowledge. Based on a Marxist analysis the author proposes a brief historical outlook of teachers' training in Brazil and shows the contradictions starting from Lukács' contributions. The teachers' job and professional statute summarize contradictions which are articulated with the social relations that produce and reproduce the life of the capitalist production model, not only because of the ontological condition of the human teaching through work, but also because of the historically contained contradiction in the professional statute.

Keywords : Training of teachers; Teachers' work; Teachers' profession; Training policies; Knowledge.
