INSERÇÃO PROFISSIONAL: APRENDIZAGENS, DESAFIOS E IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A FORMAÇÃO E PRÁTICA PEDAGÓGICA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

This article discusses professional insertion, aiming to understand what learning, challenges and implications this phase of teacher education has for the pedagogical practice of a pedagogue who works in Early Childhood Education in the municipal education network of Fortaleza -Ceará. The research, developed in 2019, used the qualitative approach, carrying out a case study. For data production, a mixed electronic questionnaire (phase I of the research) and a narrative interview (phase II of the research) were used. For the analysis, the Discursive Textual Analysis method was adopted. The theoretical basis of this study used studies related to professional insertion(MARCELO GARCIA, 1999; HUBERMAN, 2007)and teaching learning(OLIVEIRA-FORMOSINHO, 2002; TARDIF, 2002; PLACCO; SOUZA, 2006; PIMENTA, 2009), specifically in the context of Early Childhood Education. The data revealed that the teacher experienced, in parallel, the feelings of survival and discovery of the profession; teaching learning came from personal initiative through the continuous search for knowledge, in addition to interaction with peers and classroom experience; and the lack of institutional support was listed as one of the main challenges for entering the profession. We conclude, therefore, that it is necessary to plan and implement public educational policies aimed specifically at the systematic monitoring of beginning teachers, aiming at promoting institutional processes of induction that meet the training needs of this stage of professional teacher training. In addition, we ratify the need to expand collaboration between school and university to favor teaching learning through experiences that promote the articulation between theory and practice.
