As a theoretical base, we adopted the model developed by Domingos Sobrinho (1998, 2000, 2003, 2010, 2011), which articulates the Theory of Social Representations, Serge Moscovici, and the foundations and concepts of Pierre Bourdieu praxiology. It is based also on the Central Nucleus Theory, which focuses on the structural approach of social representations. Thus, puts in evidence the relational dynamics and symbolic, through which individuals come into contact, describe, understand and reproduce the outside world in his image and likeness. 199 teachers participated in the study of child care and pre-schools of Campina Grande - PB and 109 of the state. The methods and techniques used were: a) participant observation of everyday life of teachers of kindergartens and preschools, b) semi-structured interview, c) free associations of words with inducing the expression 'being a professor of early childhood education is ...' and d) semi-structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed in the case of interviews through the categorical content analysis, as proposed by Bauer (2010); free-associations, using the software Ensemble L'Analyse des Programmes Permettant evocations (EVOC), developed by Verg?s (2002), which combines frequency and average order of recall (or association) and the questionnaire data, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). It was verified the existence of a unique social representation shared by the population studied, but its content is structured differently. For local teachers, the centrality of the content is given by the elements commitment, dedication, responsibility, and rewarding teachers for this state revolves around the elements of love, patience, and rewarding responsibility. However, it is constructed mainly based on the related produced by a religious habitus and maternal habitus, which are part of the genesis of the establishment of professorial habitus in focus, among other cultural references of secondary influence. We conclude that a teacher of early childhood education actually researched, is materialized in the practices of educating and caring, in a clear fusion of the role of teacher and mother / Apresentam-se aqui os resultados de uma pesquisa cujos objetivos foram identificar a representa??o social do ser professor da Educa??o Infantil em Campina Grande PB, nas redes p?blicas estadual e municipal, e detectar os esquemas mentais estruturantes de um poss?vel habitus professoral dos docentes da Educa??o Infantil, que estariam na base da constru??o dessa representa??o. Como referencial te?rico b?sico, adotou-se o modelo desenvolvido por Domingos Sobrinho (1998, 2000, 2003, 2010, 2011), que articula a Teoria das Representa??es Sociais, de Serge Moscovici, e os fundamentos e conceitos da Praxiologia de Pierre Bourdieu. Fundamenta-se, tamb?m, na Teoria do N?cleo Central, cujo enfoque ? a abordagem estrutural da representa??o social. Dessa forma, p?e-se em evid?ncia a din?mica relacional e simb?lica, atrav?s da qual os indiv?duos entram em contato, descrevem, compreendem e reproduzem o mundo exterior ? sua imagem e semelhan?a. Participaram da pesquisa 199 professoras das creches e pr?-escolas municipais de Campina Grande PB e 109 das estaduais. Os m?todos e t?cnicas utilizados foram: observa??o participante do cotidiano das professoras das creches e pr?-escolas; entrevista semi-estruturada; associa??es livres de palavras com a express?o indutora ser professor da Educa??o Infantil ?... ; e question?rio semi-estruturado. Os dados foram analisados, no caso das entrevistas, atrav?s da an?lise categorial de conte?do, conforme proposta de Bauer (2010); as associa??es-livres, por meio do software Ensemble de Programmes Permettant L‟analyse des Evocations (EVOC), desenvolvido por Verg?s (2002), que combina frequ?ncia e ordem m?dia de evoca??o (ou associa??o); e os dados do question?rio, pelo software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Constatou-se a exist?ncia de uma ?nica representa??o social compartilhada pela popula??o pesquisada, embora seu conte?do estruture-se de modo diferenciado. Para as docentes municipais, a centralidade do conte?do ? dada pelos elementos compromisso, dedica??o, responsabilidade, gratificante e para as docentes estaduais essa gira em torno dos elementos amor, paci?ncia, gratificante e responsabilidade. Contudo, a mesma ? constru?da fundamentalmente com base nos referentes produzidos por um habitus religioso e um habitus maternal, os quais fazem parte da g?nese de constitui??o do habitus professoral em foco, dentre outros referentes culturais de influ?ncia secund?ria. Conclui-se que ser professora da Educa??o Infantil, na realidade pesquisada, materializa-se nas pr?ticas do educar e do cuidar, numa clara fus?o do papel de professora e m?e
