CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O presente trabalho apresenta uma proposta de anÃlise da relaÃÃo entre as polÃticas de formaÃÃo de professores e os fundamentos da produÃÃo de conhecimento. De natureza bibliogrÃfica e documental, a investigaÃÃo objetiva compreender as mediaÃÃes teÃricas e histÃricas dessas duas categorias. Nesse sentido, intenta-se submeter Ãs polÃticas de formaÃÃo docente e seus princÃpios norteadores, assim como suas teorias do conhecimento subjacentes, ao crivo do materialismo histÃrico-dialÃtico e da filosofia da prÃxis, mormente em Marx, numa perspectiva ontolÃgica. Tal esforÃo permite maior compreensÃo da lÃgica que rege as polÃticas de formaÃÃo docente e a identificaÃÃo dos limites e possibilidades dessa categoria com vistas a contribuir para uma prÃxis educativa transformadora. Conclui que a formaÃÃo inicial de professores no contexto atual atende Ãs prerrogativas dos organismos internacionais e à valorizaÃÃo do capital, expressando-se frÃgil teÃrica e cientificamente. / This paper presents a proposal to analyze the relationship between teacher education policies and the fundamentals of knowledge production. Of bibliographic and documentary nature, the research aims to understand the theoretical and historical mediations of these two categories. In this sense, it is tried to submit to the policies of teacher training and its guiding principles, as well as its underlying theories of knowledge, to the sieve of historicaldialectical materialism and the philosophy of praxis, especially in Marx, in an ontological perspective. This effort allows a better understanding of the logic that governs teacher education policies and the identification of the limits and possibilities of this category with a view to contributing to a transformative educational praxis. It concludes that the initial formation of teachers in the current context attends to the prerogatives of international organizations and to the valorisation of capital, expressing itself fragile theoretically and scientifically.

Ao longo do texto contei diversas experiências diretamente relacionadas à escola, mas à medida que eu o escrevia, uma prática muito particular revelou-se central entre todas elas: o meu trabalho com projetos na E.M.E.F. ¿Pe. Melico C. Barbosa¿, em Campinas. Não foi a minha intenção elaborar uma definição para ¿trabalhos com projetos¿, mas descrever estas práticas para compreender os sentidos que lhes venho atribuindo nestes anos e de que maneira estes se articulam à minha docência. Estas articulações produzem alterações significativas nas minhas aulas, por mim aqui denominadas de ¿aulas-projeto¿. Para fazer esta narrativa, procurei confrontar as minhas memórias de professor e uma determinada auto-imagem profissional, com registros das minhas práticas - relatórios, anotações, textos de alunos etc., tomados enquanto documentos de pesquisa. Produzi estas relações tendo como perspectivas metodológicas o conceito de dialogismo, desenvolvido por Bakhtin e as reflexões de W. Benjamin em torno da história e da narrativa. Dessa maneira, tornou-se possível, para mim, poder ouvir as vozes outras que me constituem professor e dar-lhes sentido por meio dessa escrita / Abstract: This work is a narrative of my formation as a History teacher in the elementary school. In the text I told different experiences directly related to school, but while I was writing it, a very particular practice turned out to be as central among all of them: my work with projects at EMEF ¿Pe Melico Cândido Barbosa¿, in Campinas. It was not my intention to elaborate a definition about ¿ works with projects¿, but describing these practices to understand the senses I have attributed to them through these years and in which way these projects articulate to my teaching. These articulations produce meaningful alterations in my classes, being, nominated by me here, as ¿project classes¿. To make this narrative, I tried to confront my memories as a teacher and a determined professional auto image, with registers from my practice ¿ reports, writings, students texts, etc. taken as documents of research. I produced these relations having as methodological perspectives the concept of dialogism, developed by Bakhtin and the reflections of W. Benjamin around the history and the narrative. In this way, it became possible, to me, to hear the other voices that constitute me as teacher and to give them senses through this writing / Mestrado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Mestre em Educação

Group work is commonly recommended as a student-centred instructional strategy which may enhance learning. Research in this area has predominantly used controlled interventions focusing on unproductive teacher assistance or specific strategies of doing group work to be applied by teachers. On the other hand, teachers’ own understanding and uses of group work in classrooms have been under-researched. Drawing on cultural-historical theory, this study scrutinises how and why teachers use group work, and how their enacted understanding is related to the broader contexts of teaching. The present study consists of four teachers of English in two secondary schools in Hong Kong to discern their rationales for and implementation of group work. The analysis delves into the dynamics within the activity of teaching, which comprise the interrelations between teachers' biographies, their purposes for group work in classrooms and what was expected from these teachers within the school practices. The Vygotskian perspective taken by this study entailed an inquiry into the teachers' intentional actions in everyday teaching. Each teacher was interviewed at the outset and end of the school-based fieldwork for their learning backgrounds and beliefs about teaching. In between these interviews each of them was observed in 15 lessons involving group work and undertook five to six stimulated recall (SR) interviews. These lesson video-recordings provided the stimuli for the SR interviews for probing the teacher’s pedagogic decisions while orchestrating students in small groups. The data was analysed by deploying concepts from cultural-historical theory, particularly two organising frameworks developed within the approach. One is a pedagogic sequence proposed by Edwards (1995; in press) as a descriptor to categorise the teachers’ purposes for and actions in group work. The other is an adaptation of Hedegaard's (2012) planes of analysis for identifying the various motives and demands in the multi-layered setting of teaching where group work was located. Group work as a pedagogic tool displayed the intra- and interpersonal dynamics in the activity of teaching. The findings indicate that the teachers' historically-constructed identities as learners of English oriented their intentions for group work and beliefs about teaching the subject. How the schools mediated societal expectations on teaching and learning had a considerable bearing on the teachers enacting their understanding. These institutional objectives and demands in practices created sets of opportunities for group work in the classrooms. The analysis thence was sited at the interface between the teachers' personal pedagogies and the multi-faceted social structure reflected in how education policy was mediated differently in different school contexts. The implications for teacher development are discussed.
