Professores principiantes e a inserção à docência: contextos, programas e práticas formativas

Abstract

This book is the result of studies and investigations by Brazilian and foreign researchers interested in the matter of beginning teachers and the insertion to teaching, who have demarcated their productions in conferences on this field, notably the Congresso Internacional sobre Professorado Principiante e Inserção Profissional à Docência (International Congress of Beginner Professorship and Professional Insertion of Teaching), that had its fourth edition held in 2014 in Curitiba / Brazil, organized by the Department of Education from the Parana Federal Technological University (UTFPR) in partnership with the Idea Research Group from the University of Seville / Spain. This is a collection of nine (9) chapters focused on the discussion of contexts, programs and formation practices of beginning teachers and in the insertion of the teaching, highlighting the study of the matter directed to both beginning teachers for basic education as to higher education, as well as the concern for current challenges in the education of sign language teachers and educational challenges of public policies for initial teacher formation. The texts were produced by a group of sixteen (16) authors / researchers, linked to different Brazilian universities, one foreign university, as well as postgraduate programs in education. In no way the texts exhaust the theme, however, revealing the need for the agenda in the Brazilian education setting, with the discussion of programs and practices that subsidize the incorporation of new qualities to the professional development of teachers.
