A socialização profissional docente abrange os processos de apropriação da realidade social da profissão, processos que são efetivos quando resultam em interiorizações dessa realidade. Os sujeitos socializados passam a possuir uma consciência da realidade da profissão docente. Enquanto tema de investigação, a socialização profissional docente se insere em investigações sobre Formação de Professores, sendo pertinente tanto para a Formação Inicial como também para a Formação Continuada. Nesta pesquisa, investiga-se este tema no âmbito de uma política educacional que incide nos Cursos de Licenciatura (e também nas Escolas de Educação Básica), o Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID/CAPES). Estão considerados 03 Subprojetos PIBID/CAPES da Área de Química de uma Universidade do Estado de São Paulo. A coleta de informações de pesquisa ocorreu por meio da aplicação de questionário, o qual foi respondido por 40 sujeitos. As informações coletadas foram tratadas com bases em pressupostos da Teoria Fundamenta. Constatou-se que as atividades que se constituem propícias para a socialização profissional docente dos licenciandos do programa são aq...

The teacher professional socialization are the processes of appropriation of the social reality of the profession, processes that are effective when they result in the internalization of this reality, and thus socialized subjects begin to have awareness of the profession. While the subject of research, teaching professional socialization included in research of teacher training, and are relevant both for the initial training, and also for continuing education. In this research, we investigate this issue due to the existence of an educational policy that focuses on undergraduate programs (and also in basic educationalo schools), named Programa Institutional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID/CAPES). Here, are considered 03 subprojects PIBID/CAPES of Chemistry of a public University. The collection of research information was through the application of a questionnaire, which was answered by 40 subjects. The data were treated with bases on assumptions of the Fundamental Theory. It was found that the activities that are conductive to teaching professional sociliazation are those in which the subjects involved protagonists teahcing situations in schools. As for the members of the Sub-project PIBID /CAPES, those that directly influence this process are those who work in schools overseeing the subjects involved. Regarding interactions experienced in school whitespace, it was found that the most influential are those established with future peer profession followed, those with established infrastructure and contingent conditions of schools / Mestre

A l’intersection d’une sociologie de la socialisation professionnelle et de la sociologie du genre, la thèse se propose d’étudier la population des femmes exerçant en chirurgie digestive. L’enquête s’appuie sur des entretiens menés avec des chirurgiens (une quarantaine de femmes et une quinzaine d’hommes) ainsi que sur du matériau ethnographique issu de stages d’observation. Le fait de restreindre l’analyse aux seules exceptions statistiques que représentent les femmes en chirurgie partait de l’hypothèse que les processus de socialisation professionnelle et les produits de cette socialisation seraient plus visibles – parce que plus problématiques, moins « naturels » – qu’en étudiant leurs homologues masculins. Mais parce que les dispositions professionnelles en chirurgie sont inextricablement construites et perçues comme « masculines », l’analyse s’est aussi attachée à la construction sociale du « féminin » ou du « masculin » chez les enquêtées exerçant ce métier. Nous étudions dans une première partie analytique comment les enquêtées qui choisissent la chirurgie s’accommodent de ce qui est rédhibitoire pour d’autres étudiantes ayant écarté la spécialité de leur choix à l’internat, à savoir la grande disponibilité temporelle exigée par le métier, l’humour grivois des opérateurs et le faible relationnel avec le patient. Dans la seconde partie des résultats, nous montrons que les femmes qui choisissent la chirurgie ont pour la plupart un patrimoine dispositionnel perçu comme « masculin » et que cette intériorisation de dispositions socialement construites comme masculines s’est faite dans le cadre de la profession, mais déjà en amont dans le cadre des socialisations antérieures (familiales, amicales…). Quelques cas d’enquêtées « féminines » sont étudiés en contrepoint. Enfin, un dernier chapitre souligne la pluralité dispositionnelle diachronique (avec une tendance à la masculinisation en début de carrière professionnelle) ainsi que la pluralité dispositionnelle synchronique (« masculines » avec les chirurgiens, elles se comporteraient de manière plus « féminine » avec les infirmières). / At the crossing of sociology of professional socialization and sociology of gender, this PdD research studies the population of women general surgeons. It is based on interviews with surgeons (about forty interviews with female surgeons and fifteen with male surgeons) and ethnographic data collected through observation. The study of the statistical exception that are female surgeons is based on the hypothesis that the process of professional socialization and its outcomes would be more visible – because more problematic, less “natural” – than through the study of male surgeons. But, because professional dispositions in surgery are inextricably built and perceived as “masculine”, the research also analyses the social construction of “feminity” and “masculinity” of women surgeons.The first part is devoted to the study of how women who choose surgery put up with some aspects of the profession that make other student avoid it. These aspects are: the business of timetable required by surgery, the lack of inter-personal relations with the patient and the coarse humour of male surgeons. The second part demonstrates that the women who choose surgery have, most of the time, a dispositional heritage perceived as “masculine” and that this incorporation of dispositions socially constructed as masculine occurred in the professional context but also, earlier on, in the context of prior socializations (familial socialization, friend socialisation…). Some “feminine” women surgeons are studied as counterpoint. Finally, the last chapter underlies diachronic dispositional plurality (with a tendency to masculinization at the beginning of the career) and synchronic dispositional plurality (“masculine” with male surgeons, they behave in a more “feminine” way with nurses).

abstract: This research explores the socialization and culture of naturopathic students. Naturopathic physicians are a rapidly growing group of health care providers with a different ideology than conventional physicians. At present they work on the margins of the division of labor in health care. Only 15 U.S. states explicitly recognize, regulate, and license their practice, although the number is increasing. Therefore, the professional socialization of naturopathic students is framed within a context of a changing division of labor in health care. The recent growth of naturopathic physicians reflects the American public's increased interest and use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). However, these practitioners are not yet accepted as legitimate physicians by most conventional physicians. This research investigates how the professional socialization of students at a naturopathic medical school prepares them to assume their role as CAM providers in a division of labor that is dominated by conventional physicians. The research examines their choice to attend a naturopathic school, formal and informal socialization at the school, and the student culture. The main research site is a four-year, accredited naturopathic medical school where participant observation, intensive interviews, and a survey were used to collect data. Additional data are presented from observations at a national conference of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Results indicate that the student culture and socialization process at the naturopathic medical school differ in some important ways from the previously documented socialization process at conventional medical schools. The average age of naturopathic students is much older than conventional medical students, and a much larger percentage are women. Unlike conventional medical students, who rely heavily on role models and previous knowledge of what it takes to become a medical doctor, naturopathic students select a career path based on values and beliefs that are more aligned with their own than conventional medicine. The formal and informal training and culture of naturopathic students prepares them to work alongside, rather than within, mainstream medicine. The documentation of how a group of CAM practitioners is created contributes to a better understanding of the ever-changing ideology and division of labor in health care. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Sociology 2011

The present study is the result of research collaboration where participating teachers and a researcher have jointly analyzed and reflected over experiences from professional training and professional work in order to develop an understanding of skills and knowledge that are relevant to the professional development and professional lives of teachers. The focus is on four female primary school teachers’ stories. Certain things run through these stories. They are (i) a quest for professional development, (ii) a strong commitment to teaching and (iii) an ongoing identity-building process. The overall purpose of the thesis is to identify and describe these processes and thus contribute meaningful knowledge to the debate on teacher professional development within the Swedish educational landscape. Two questions have been particularly important. These are: – What individual and structural conditions and processes appear to be important for professional development and career choice? – Which key events and turning points can be identified in teachers’ lives and work, focusing on the early years of the occupation and how can these be understood? The professional life stories have a chronological structure and they have been organized around three time periods. One of these is The Road to the profession, including teachers’ stories about their background, school experiences, past professional life and what has influenced them to take the step to become a teacher, and experience from their education. The second is the first years in the profession. This is the period covering the first three years of working life after teacher education. It depicted a diversity of experience and the experience of strenuous and stressful work situations in which new teachers, with high aspirations, confronted at times unanticipated work assignments and challenging conditions for which they did not always feel fully prepared. However, as well as these tensions of development there also appears to be a period of intense and stimulating knowledge development in which the teachers experienced opportunities to put their ideas about education, development, cooperation and educational projects to the test. Through this they say that they developed professionally in a way that strengthened their professional identity. The continuing work history period is the third period. It includes experience from the three year period following the first years in the profession. Here the teachers describe a process of establishment at each workplace, where the teachers’ continuing quest for educational development and change is in the fore, as is an aim toward further professional development and greater stability in the professional role. / <p>Disputationen sker fredagen den 17 december 2010, kl 13.15, Hörsal D203, Högskolan i Borås, Allegatan 1</p>

The character of the professional socialization experience is a subject of debate in the literature; one of the primary issues being the relative contributions of trainees to the nature of their socializing experience. As crucial as the clinical education experience is to the educational and professional development of medical students, it has received relatively little attention in the literature on professional socialization of physicians. The goals of this research were to understand, from the students' perspective, the character of the first clinical learning experience in the medical school career of a group of medical students and, given the character of that context, the role of student negotiations in their own education and professional socialization. This study employed a symbolic interactionist framework and the data collection methods of participant observation and unstructured interview. The data collection was conducted over a six-week period during which time the researcher experienced along with a group of six medical students their first clinical learning experience. These students perceived the clinical learning environment to be challenging, complex and frequently too busy to easily accommodate their learning needs. They recognized the enormity of their learning task and of their own incompetence. These were the basic perceptions that prompted the students to negotiate their clinical learning experience. Student negotiations took three basic forms: the creation of new learning opportunities, the manipulation of existing learning resources, and interpretation of events and behaviors. Students' negotiations were constrained by the structure of the education program and the students' own assertiveness. The study's findings indicate that the students were active negotiators of the content and the conduct of their own professional education and professional socialization. Even in the face of overwhelming demands on their intellectual and emotional resources, the students expressed their individual and collective intent for their educational experience. The study findings were similar to those of earlier studies of professional socialization, although new behaviors and behaviors inconsistent with those found in previous research were uncovered. Contributions to the literature on professional socialization and to an understanding of this phenomenon were made through the explanation of these inconsistencies.

The purpose was to investigate the role of influential persons in the professional socialization process of music educators as musicians and teachers. The problems were to determine: who encouraged subjects toward music and teaching during pre-college, college, and post-college years; and the interrerationships of gender and teaching specialty with influential persons in subjects' lives.
