TEACHING KNOWLEDGE: THE PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVES OF TECHNICAL TEACHING TEACHERS

Abstract

This article discusses the professional perspectives of teachers who work in a public institution of technical and technological education in the State of São Paulo. It is based on studies on teaching knowledge, professional education and teacher training. Its objectives are to describe the knowledge that constitutes the teacher and to analyze his professional perspectives. In the development of this discussion, it is proposed, according to a qualitative approach methodology based on the teaching knowledge studied, an analysis of the perspectives of teachers in relation to their profession. In this analysis, the IRAMUTEQ program, content analysis software, was applied to identify and visualize teaching knowledge and their professional perspectives. Studies have shown that the teaching profession in professional education requires experience in the classroom, as well as in other professional activities, in addition to constant updating of knowledge.
