This practice based PhD project investigates the language ideologies which surround the specific multilingual context of rural primary education in Zambia. The project comprises of a creative documentary film and a complementary written submission. The fieldwork and filming of the project took place over 12 months between September 2011 and August 2012 in the community of Lwimba, in Chongwe District, Zambia. The project focuses on the experiences of a single grade one class, their teacher, and the surrounding community of Lwimba. The majority of the school children speak the community language of Soli. The regional lingua franca, and language of the teacher, however, is Nyanja, and the students must also learn Zambia’s only official language, English. At the centre of the project is a research inquiry focusing on the language ideologies which surround each of these languages, both within the classroom and the wider rural community. The project also simultaneously aims to investigate and reflect on the capacity of creative documentary film to engage with linguistic anthropological research. The film at the centre of the project presents a portrait of Annie, a young, urban teacher of the community’s grade one class, as well as three students and their families. Through the narrativised experiences of the teacher and children, it aims to highlight the linguistic ideologies present within the language events and practices in and around the classroom, as well as calling attention to their intersection with themes of linguistic modernity, multilingualism, and language capital. The project’s written submission is separated into three major chapters separated into the themes of narrative, value and text respectively. Each chapter will focus on subjects related to both the research inquiry and the project’s documentary film methodology. Chapter one outlines the intersection of political-historical narratives of nationhood and language that surround the project, and reflects on the practice of internal narrative construction within documentary film. Chapter two firstly focuses on the language valuations within the institutional setting of the classroom and the wider community, and secondly proposes a two-phase perspective of evaluation and value creation as a means to examine the practice of editing within documentary film making. Chapter three addresses the theme of text through discussing the role of literacy acquisition and use in the classroom and community, as well as analysing and reflecting on the practice of translation and subtitle creation within the project.

The dialectic method in this study makes possible the deepening of the contradictions in the education, the formation of professors and the continued formation to reveal the ideological interests that involve the qualification and preparation of the force of work (understood as a merchandise) in the logic of functioning of the capitalism. It criticizes the marketing interests that establish new requirements to the teaching profession. To evaluate the theoretical aspects we shortly look for to deal with the main matrices the knowledge: the empirism\positivism, idealism\racionalism and the dialectic, in order to understand the importance of the theoretical formation for the construction of the práxis of the professor and to facilitate the agreement of the evolution of the revealed historical thought in the historiographer boardings (traditional cultural historical positivista\materialismo and dialético\história history) that certainly it constitutes an excellent aspect in the formation of professores\historiadores. Still on the theoretical formation, we also analyze the Project Pedagogical Politician of the course of History, of all the proposals of occured curricular reformularizations since the end of the decade of 80 until the year of 2006, we relate the summaries of you discipline them offered in the course with the epistemológica theoretical formation that involves the historiográfico thought, identifying the related boardings. Already the didático\metodológicos aspects, had been analyzed from the conceptions of the searched ones on education, evaluation, history, didactics and predominant practical its. It was possible also to identify to aspects of the professional profile of the professors egresses of the UCG that reflects the conjuncture imposed for the current moment (3ª Industrial Revolution) that it demands adaptation of the work force (as merchandise) the reality of the contradictory market that also imposes precarious conditions of work. We raise the quarrel on the construction of the práxis of the educador\historiador front to the challenges placed for the current reality. Therefore, our work is based cientificamente for the dialético method that analyzes the contradictions of the reality and considers the internal dynamics of the elements denied for its the opposite leading its overcoming. That is demonstrated when we formulate criticamente the analysis of the contradictions in the formation of professors and the continued formation, also in our agreement of that the education is a fertile field to be sown the autonomy, the freedom and the fight politics. In this way, the present study it is important to foment the debate around the relation between the education, the society, the economy and the ideology, a time that supplies to a critical vision on the formation of professors and the relation between theory and the practical one of the professor of History, as also, presents given significant to those interested parties for the thematic one and for a possible evaluation of the course of formation of professors of history of the UCG, as well as its redimensionamento. / Para se conhecer os aspectos do processo de formação dos professores de história egressos da UCG de 1986 a 2006, foram pesquisadas as diferentes concepções sobre a formação de professores e a formação continuada. O método dialético neste estudo possibilita o aprofundamento das contradições na educação, na formação de professores e na formação continuada para desvelar os interesses ideológicos que envolvem a qualificação e preparação da força de trabalho (entendida como uma mercadoria) na lógica de funcionamento do capitalismo. Critica os interesses mercadológicos que estabelecem novas exigências à profissão docente. Para avaliar os aspectos teóricos procuramos resumidamente tratar as principais matrizes do conhecimento: o empirismo\positivismo, idealismo\racionalismo\formalismo e a dialética, a fim de entender a importância da formação teórica para a construção da práxis do professor e para facilitar o entendimento da evolução do pensamento histórico manifestado nas abordagens historiográficas (história tradicional positivista\materialismo histórico e dialético\história cultural) que, certamente, constitui um aspecto relevante na formação de professores\historiadores. Ainda sobre a formação teórica, analisamos também o Projeto Político Pedagógico do curso de História, de todas as propostas de reformulações curriculares ocorridas desde o final da década de 80 até o ano de 2006. Relacionamos as ementas das disciplinas oferecidas no curso com a formação teórica epistemológica, que envolve o pensamento historiográfico, identificando as referidas abordagens. Já os aspectos didático\metodológicos, foram analisados a partir das concepções dos pesquisados sobre educação, avaliação, história, didática e sua prática predominante. Foi possível também identificar aspectos do perfil profissional dos professores egressos da UCG que reflete a conjuntura imposta pelo momento atual (3ª Revolução Industrial) que exige adaptação da força de trabalho (como mercadoria), a realidade do contraditório mercado que também impõe condições precárias de trabalho. Levantamos a discussão sobre a construção da práxis do educador\historiador frente aos desafios colocados pela realidade atual. Por isso, nosso trabalho fundamenta-se cientificamente pelo método dialético que analisa as contradições da realidade e considera a dinâmica interna dos elementos negados pelo seu contrário levando a sua superação. Isto é demonstrado quando formulamos criticamente a análise das contradições na formação de professores e na formação continuada, também em nosso entendimento de que a educação é um campo fértil para ser semeada a autonomia, a liberdade e a luta política. Desta maneira, o presente estudo é importante para fomentar o debate em torno da relação entre a educação, a sociedade, a economia e a ideologia, uma vez que fornece uma visão crítica sobre a formação de professores e sobre a relação entre teoria e a prática do professor de História, como também, apresenta dados significativos a aqueles interessados pela temática e para uma possível avaliação do curso de formação de professores de história da UCG, bem como seu redimensionamento.
