História e memória da formação docente em Ituiutaba - MG

Abstract

One of the propositions of this study was to continue the research initiated on the Master s degree on the history of literacy teachers in the municipality of Ituiutaba-MG, since evidence of this story pointed to the formation of such professionals as teachers. Accordingly, I set out to expand the research adding to recent discoveries, new quests, new anxieties in order to identify the pedagogical ideas that underpinned the social productions on teacher training, both in educational legislation, and in the interior of the existing teacher training institutions municipality in the period 1935 to 1961: the Normal Schools. In developing the study on teacher training from educational institutions I try to recover the trajectory of significant institutions, demonstrating its importance to the socio-cultural development of the region, contributing to an interconnection between the singular and the history of Brazilian education by highlighting the discussion on the formation of schoolteacher from the perspective of Normal Schools, private and public in the municipality of Ituiutaba on the period comprising the years of 1935 to 1971. The specific objectives marked in this study were: to identify what were the conceptions of teacher training that circulated in educational legislation in Brazil, Minas Gerais and Ituiutaba; to identify research on teacher education in the Normal Schools held in institutions that are located in the Triangulo Mineiro and Alto Parnaíba, comprising differences and similarities in the teacher training process in the region; to describe the research setting, the educational context of the municipality of Ituiutaba, located in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and private and public schools of the county teachers consist the context and the process of formation of each of them; and to meditate on the widespread school culture in these institutions comprising the process of formation of each. The methodology used to conduct the study was the Oral History since it allows us to stop conceiving history as unique, or of a national identity, to recognize the existence of multiple stories, memories and identities in a society. In this perspective, I did the following: bibliographical and documentary collection, conducting oral interviews with students, teachers and school managers and transcription of the narratives. This study showed that the municipality of Ituiutaba had five teacher training institutions, remaining twenty years with only one private school that offered teacher training, and another twenty years to count to one school of free education, only in 1969 is was created a public teacher training school.
