The theoretical framework is based on the SDI in particular in shed that discusses the work of teachers (Bronckart; MACHADO, 2004; 2009). The methodology follows the assumptions of analysis of SDI (Bronckart 1999, 2006, 2008 , AXE, 2004, 2009; AX; Bronckart, 2004, 2009) examines excerpts from a corpus whose source texts are produced by six academics, in an interview situation, ar 8th semester of the course. The analysis and discussion of results focus on the thematic content of these texts in relation to choice of course, the "desire" to be teacher, "to be a teacher" and teaching as work. The results indicate that entering graduate degree in Letras came not with the intention of becoming a teacher of Portuguese Language and / or Literature and in relation to "be a teacher", the representation that stands out most is the one that places the teacher as the agent of the teaching / learning and the representations presented as educational work process also appear quite limited. / Esta pesquisa discute o trabalho docente na perspectiva da Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo ISD (BRONCKART, 2009) e analisa as representações sobre a atividade educacional de acadêmicos concluintes do curso de Letras de uma Universidade Pública do interior do estado do RS. A sustentação teórica tem base no quadro do ISD, em especial, na vertente que discute o trabalho do professor (BRONCKART; MACHADO, 2004; 2009), bem como a metodologia segue os pressupostos de análise do ISD (BRONCKART, 1999, 2006, 2008; MACHADO, 2004, 2009; MACHADO; BRONCKART, 2004, 2009) e examina excertos de um corpus, cuja fonte são textos produzidos por seis acadêmicos, em situação de entrevista, do 8º semestre do Curso. A análise e discussão dos resultados incidem sobre os conteúdos temáticos dos referidos textos em relação à escolha do Curso; o desejo de ser professor; o ser professor e o ensino como trabalho. Os resultados indicam que o ingresso no graduação em Letras deu-se não com o intuito de ser professor de Língua Portuguesa e/ou Literatura e em relação ao ser professor , a representação que mais se destaca é aquela que coloca o docente como o agente do processo de ensino/aprendizagem e as representações apresentadas de ensino como trabalho aparecem, ainda, bastante limitadas.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Researches reveal a problem of foreign language teachers‟ profession in the Brazilians public schools. These studies generally focus on a kind of learning that is being developed by teachers without the proper knowledge of what really can influence in this kind of activity. In this way, the critics toward the teaching of foreign language that are practiced in Brazil are intense and numerous. In a certain way, it constitute a social voice present in discourse about the subject. Then, based in the principle that a larger conceptualization of work can lead us to a large capacity to became aware about what mean the teachers‟ work, I did analysis in this research about voices present in the discourse of a Spanish language teacher from Santa Maria-RS. My objective was to investigate how the teacher‟s discourse is organized according to the production‟s context and what representation about the Spanish language teacher‟s work appears from his voice. My hypothesis is the teacher‟s act in classroom should be scheduled by different materialized voices in the discourse about the teaching of Spanish, construing also a representation of its work as professor. To verify this hypothesis, I realize an analysis of transcription of oral interview with a Spanish teacher from Santa Maria that works in a public school. My review of literature is based the bases of chart analysis of social interactionism (ISD) developed by Bronckart (2009 [1999]) such as the ideas developed by ergonomics of activity and by Clinic of activity in the work‟s concept. The data‟s analysis helped me to identify that, even the teacher demand an autonomic practice in classroom, representing a dedicated and innovative, actually, his discourse materialize an work based by prescriptions and coercion from another voices that pass through it. / Pesquisas revelam a problemática da profissão do professor de língua estrangeira nas escolas públicas do Brasil. Esses estudos geralmente focalizam o tipo de aprendizagem que está sendo desenvolvida pelo professor sem uma real compreensão do que pode interferir neste tipo de atividade. Desse modo, as críticas ao ensino de língua estrangeira praticado no país são intensas e numerosas, o que acaba, de certa forma, se constituindo como uma voz social presente nos debates sobre o tema. Assim, partindo do princípio de que uma conceitualização mais ampliada do trabalho pode nos levar a uma maior conscientização do que vem a ser o trabalho do professor, realizei, nesta pesquisa, uma análise da fala de uma professora de língua espanhola. Meu objetivo foi investigar como o texto/discurso dessa professora se organiza a partir do contexto de produção e que representação sobre o trabalho do professor de espanhol emerge dessa fala. Minha hipótese é que o agir da professora em sala de aula seja pautado pelas diferentes vozes materializadas em seu discurso sobre o ensino de língua espanhola, configurando, também, uma representação de seu trabalho docente. Para verificar essa hipótese, realizei a análise da transcrição de uma entrevista oral realizada com uma professora de espanhol da cidade de Santa Maria-RS que trabalha na rede estadual de ensino. Como referencial teórico-metodológico utilizei as bases do quadro de análise do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (ISD) desenvolvido por Bronckart (2009[1999]) bem como os pressupostos da Ergonomia da Atividade e da Clínica da Atividade no que se refere ao conceito de trabalho. A análise dos dados permitiu identificar que, ainda que a professora reinvidique uma prática autônoma em sua fala, representando um professor dedicado e inovador, seu texto/discurso materializa, na verdade, um trabalho balizado pelas prescrições e pelas coerções de outras vozes que o perpassam.

abstract: I conducted this qualitative research including data collection, data analysis and comparison analysis in a Casting and Jewelry Techniques course at Arizona State University for a whole semester. The purpose of this research was to explore the symbolic interactive meaning of metalworking to university students in metal courses, and if they had various learning needs to improve and enhance their metal art making by seeking their responses to the relationship between technical issues and concepts of their own artworks. The study results showed that the meanings of metalworking to students were craftsmanship, and a sense of accomplishment, and it related to their daily lives in career and presentation. Most of them focused on the degree of technical completion and forms of work rather than expressive concepts, and techniques were important in their works. I compared my findings in this study with my pilot study and James's study in a sculpture studio class, and found some similarities in teacher's philosophy and students' metalwork meanings that included career aspirations, some peer interaction, technical concerns rather than concept formation, and process as serious play or the exploration of materials. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Art 2014

Numa perspectiva teórica que parte dos pressupostos de Bakhtin (2000), Vygotsky (1996), estendendo-se a Bronckart (1999), Dolz e Schneuwly (2004), relata-se uma experiência didática aplicada a alunos da 8ª série do ensino fundamental com o gênero crônica, considerado um instrumento que pode ser empregado para o aprimoramento das habilidades de escrita e também da criticidade dos alunos, ou seja, para o desenvolvimento da capacidade linguístico-discursiva dos alunos. Para Schneuwly (2002), essa aprendizagem depende da apropriação dos utensílios da escrita e dos elementos constituintes dos gêneros e suas relações. No tocante à crônica, identificam-se, na materialidade linguística dos textos produzidos, as marcas que revelam alguns dos aspectos relacionados ao contexto de produção: aspectos enunciativos e organizacionais, vistos a partir dos pressupostos do interacionismo sócio-discursivo que propiciaram a observação de aspectos da produção de textos que dizem respeito à dimensão semântica e linguístico-discursiva dos textos. Verificou-se que o gênero crônica é um instrumento que possibilitou ao aluno expressar sua opinião, analisar criticamente os fatos que o rodeiam e aprimorar sua habilidade de escrita. Nas produções dos alunos ficaram evidentes: seu posicionamento, suas intenções - as ações que podem ser realizadas por meio do uso da linguagem e os diferentes efeitos de sentido produzidos. O trabalho foi desenvolvido por meio de uma sequência didática que procurou salientar as características, os parâmetros do gênero e, assim proporcionar aos alunos situações para que eles refletissem sobre a crônica e sobre os diferentes modos de organização do gênero. A análise das crônicas produzidas pelos alunos revelou a assimilação dessas características e de marcas de autoria e estilo, traços que revelam o trabalho de escrita empreendido pelo aluno e o efeito da sequência didática. Para Bronckart, os gêneros textuais veiculam representações ou conhecimentos que estão disponíveis no intertexto e foram elaborados por gerações anteriores ou contemporâneas que as semiotizaram. / In a theoretical perspective which started from the presuppositions of Bakhtin (2000), Vygotsky (1996), extend as far as Bronckart (1999), Dolz and Schneuwly (2004) reports an educational experience applied to pupils of the 8th grades on fundamental teaching with the chronicle genre, considered a way that can be used to improve writing skills and also pupils criticism, in other words, to the development of discursive language ability of these pupils. For Schneuwly (2002), this apprenticeship depends on the appropriation of the writing tools and on the elements of this genre and their relations. Regarding the chronicle, aspects are identified, in the linguistic materiality of the produced texts, the tools show some of the aspects relating to the context of the production: enunciatively and organizational aspects, which concern the semantic and language discursive dimension. It was checked that chronicle genre is one of the tools that let the pupils express their own opinions, analyze the facts around them and improve their writing skills. In the pupils\' productions they were obvious: their positioning, their intentions - the actions can be carried out by the language use and the different effects of the produced sense. This paper was developed by an educational sequence that aims to point out the characteristics of the genre and makes pupils think about the different ways of genre organizing. The analysis of chronicles produced by the pupils revealed the assimilation of these characteristics and the authorship and style registration. For Bronckart, the textual genre shows us knowledge available in the intertext and they were prepared by previous or contemporary generations, on a semiotics way.

Nesse quadro, surgiu e ganhou forma o interacionismo cuja principal categoria de análise - a interação - passou a ser considerada como base para que os fatos sociais fossem vistos como realizações práticas frutos de processos de intersubjetividade em oposição à visão determinista do fato social como objeto estável/estático. O debate a que se pretendeu esse trabalho, isso posto, buscou apresentar a teoria interacionista como uma abordagem original para a clássica antinomia indivíduo versus sociedade abordada de forma demasiadamente estática pelas visões conservadoras. Tendo como direção esse objetivo, o trabalho apresenta as raízes filosóficas que influenciaram diretamente os autores interacionistas, com especial atenção à contribuição de Georg Simmel, explicitada ao longo do estudo. A análise dessas visões filosóficas possibilitou a constatação de sua influência, principalmente através de noções como projeto e pertencimento à corrente interacionista, além da nítida ênfase na relevância dos processos intersubjetivos para o entendimento da dinâmica social. Essa densidade filosófica levou à avaliação da multiplicidade de desenvolvimentos interacionistas apresentados pelos autores que foram perfilados como tais e a conclusão do trinômio interação-representação-identidade como a base da teoria em questão. Igualmente relevante é a constatação da aplicabilidade da teoria para abordagens microscópicas, como realizada nas instigantes obras de Erving Goffman, assim como para considerações sobre a relação entre interação e estrutura social, tais como perfiladas por Peter Berger e Thomas Luckmann. Complementam, ainda, esse quadro, os enriquecimentos proporcionados por Herbert Blumer, Anselm Strauss e Howard Becker que descortinaram novas possibilidades para a aplicabilidade da teoria. O trabalho disserta, ainda, baseado nas diversas aplicações da teoria, o leque que o interacionismo abre para a abordagem de temas caros ao século XXI, como a formação da opinião pública, os processos políticos e a subjetivação tendo em vista as características da modernidade, dentre outros. O interacionismo, isso posto, se afirma como um campo crítico caro às Ciências Sociais cuja necessidade de ser revisitado pela academia brasileira é explicitada ao longo desse trabalho, comprovando-se, dessa forma, o interacionismo como alternativa libertária aos estudos conservadores dentro do panorama das Ciências Sociais. / The XX century was marked by the development of theories that aimed to show alternatives to the normative paradigms in the Social Sciences esphere, especially critical in to Durkheim and Parsons postulates. In this context, emerged and progressed the interactionism, whose main analitical cathegory – the interacion – was considered the base for the vision that the social facts are pratical realizations resulted of intersubjectity process, in opposition of the determinist form of view that afirms the social facts as stable/statical. The debate whose this job pretended, in that case, aimed to present the interactionist theory like an original boarding to the classic antinomy individual versus society, considered by the conservative views in a very statical way. With this directions, this essay presents the philosophical roots that directly influenced the interacionist authors, in special the contributions of Georg Simmel, explicitated during the dissertation. The analysis of this philosophical views possibilitated the comfirmation of their influence, specially through the project and belongings notions, to the interacionist theory, beyond the clear emphasis in the relevance of intersubjective process for the social dynamics understanding. This philophical density causes the evaluation of the multiplicity of interactionist developments, presented by the authors who was profiled as such, and the conclusion of the trinominal interaction-representation-identity as the base of the theory. Equally relevant is the confirmation of the theory aplicability to microscopical boarings, like the ones realized in the Erving Goffman instigated searchs, thus like the considerations of the relation between interaction and social structure as the ones profiled by Peter Berger and Thomas Luchmann. Also complement this picture the enrichment proportionated by Herbert Blumer, Anselm Strauss and Howard Becker, who open new possibilities to the theory applications. This dissertations considers, also, based in the diversity of the theory apllications, the numberless boardings that interactionism possibilitates to important XXI century features, like the public opinion formations, the political processes and the relations between subjectivity and the modernity charactheristics, among others. The interactionism, so, is affirmed as a critical camp in the Social Sciences, whose necessity of being revisited by the Brazillian academy is explicited durign this dissertantion, comproving, in this way, the interactionism as a libertary alternative to the conservative searchs in the Social Sciences landscape.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This dissertation aimed to realize the construction of the relevant representations to the teaching presented by a student of degree in Letters. In order to reach this objective, we take into account the understanding that the teacher in formation is about the actions and activities involving this profession and the decision process that led him to attend a degree and following this career. Therefore, we chose to develop a longitudinal research from a qualitative analysis in order to understand the uniqueness of the individual respondent experiences. This study was under guidance of theoretical and methodological assumptions of Interacionism Sociodiscursivo (ISD) of Bronckart and Bronckart and Machado. The choice of this theory is due to the importance given by her to the study of the role of the practice of language (discursive act) in work situations, in this case specifically, the teaching work. The proposal of the ISD is to analyze (understand) the relationship between language and work (teaching). To think these relations, this work brought as a first action to conducting interviews, starting in 2011, with a new students in the same year, in Letters course of a University. Were held to total four interviews in specific moments graduation this student, namely: first semester (beginning of the course), third quarter (the period before to teaching disciplines and the internship), fifth semester (the period after to teaching disciplines and before the internship ) and eighth semester (period after the internship). From the generated text, we try to analyze them based on, first, the context of production followed the three levels proposed by ISD, namely the organization, the enunciation and semantic. The analysis allows us to answer our research questions and concluded: that social, predominant role in the texts, exercised by our interviewee was a graduate student; S13 understand that the teacher as the primary actant in teaching, establishing it as an actor, and students as an agent; that for the interviewee, the teacher's work is constituted as interpersonal, personal, sometimes impersonal and also interactional; we see that their perception of the profession is constantly accompanied by insecurity, despite having the certainty of desire to follow the teaching profession. So based on what we identified in the interviews, S13 represents the teaching as something pleasant and at the same time complex, as it requires both theoretical knowledge as knowledge of the human. Also, our interviewee understands that Obligatory curricular training becomes extremely important for teacher training as it is the time of training in which the student is connected directly to the practice, allowing reflect and reframe their actions. / Esta dissertação de mestrado teve como principal objetivo perceber a construção das representações pertinentes ao trabalho docente apresentadas por um aluno de licenciatura em Letras. A fim de chegarmos a esse objetivo, levamos em consideração o entendimento que o professor em formação tem acerca das ações e das atividades que envolvem esta profissão e o processo de decisão que o levou a cursar uma licenciatura e a seguir nesta carreira. Por isso, optamos por desenvolver uma pesquisa de cunho longitudinal, a partir de uma análise qualitativa dos dados, com a finalidade de compreender a singularidade das experiências do sujeito entrevistado. Este trabalho esteve sob orientação dos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (ISD), de Bronckart e Bronckart e Machado. A escolha por essa teoria se deve à importância dada por ela ao estudo do papel da prática da linguagem (agir discursivo) em situações de trabalho, nesse caso especificamente, do trabalho docente. Assim, a proposta do ISD é analisar (compreender) as relações entre linguagem e trabalho (docente). Para pensar essas relações, este trabalho trouxe como primeira ação a realização de entrevistas, com início no ano de 2011, com um aluno ingressante, neste mesmo ano, no Curso de Letras de uma Universidade. Foram realizadas ao total quatro entrevistas em momentos pontuais da graduação deste estudante, a saber: primeiro semestre (início do curso), terceiro semestre (período anterior às disciplinas didáticas e ao estágio), quinto semestre (período posterior às disciplinas e anterior ao estágio) e oitavo semestre (período posterior ao estágio). A partir dos textos gerados, procuramos analisá-los tendo como base, primeiramente, o contexto de produção seguida dos três níveis propostos pelo ISD, sendo eles o organizacional, o enunciativo e o semântico. A análise nos permitiu responder às nossas questões de pesquisa, chegando à conclusão: de que o papel social, predominante nos textos, exercido por nossa entrevistada foi o de estudante de graduação; de que S13 entende o professor como principal actante no trabalho docente, instaurando-o como ator, e os alunos como agente; que, para a entrevistada, o trabalho do professor se constitui como interpessoal, pessoal, por vezes impessoal e, também, interacional; verificamos que sua percepção sobre a profissão é constantemente acompanhada pela insegurança, apesar de apresentar a certeza do desejo em seguir na carreira docente. Portanto, com base no que identificamos nas entrevistas, S13 representa o trabalho docente como algo prazeroso e ao mesmo tempo complexo, visto que exige tanto conhecimento teórico quanto conhecimento do humano. Ainda, nossa entrevistada entende que o estágio curricular obrigatório se faz de extrema importância para a formação profissional docente, pois é o momento da formação em que o aluno está ligado diretamente à prática, permitindo refletir e ressignificar seu agir.

Over the last decade digital technologies have brought significant changes to classroom music, promising support for the realisation of a musical education for all students. National curricula and exam specifications continue to embed technology more deeply. While these changes increasingly impact on music classrooms, there is a growing awareness that the presence of digital technologies may not always promote meaningful compositional development, particularly at GCSE level. A ‘musical’ curriculum seeks to promote meaningful compositional development by building upon a student’s previous musical experience and by providing practical, integrated and collaborative composing experiences. Existing empirical research demonstrates that a wide range of digital technologies are used in secondary classrooms to support students’ compositional processes. When used successfully, such technologies give rise to computer- mediated environments which promote musical composing experiences. At the same time, current models of compositional development do not adequately account for the ways in which such contextual factors mediate students’ compositional development. In response to this, the current research employs a multiple case study approach to explore the ways in which two secondary music students’ compositional development proceeds when working with digital technologies. Drawing from both symbolic interactionism and activity theory as complementary theoretical lenses, students’ own views of their developing composing process are positioned in a critical and reflexive dialogue with the researcher’s own constant analysis. Tools for data collection include a novel synchronous multiple video capture technique (SMV) developed to meet the demands of the project. The methodology draws on ethnographic techniques and the framework for analysis is based on an adapted constant comparative procedure. Set in the context of a UK secondary school the thesis explores several themes which emerge from the stories of Sam and Emily, our two student cases, and which add to current understanding of compositional development with computer-mediated environments. A theoretical model is proposed which presents the process of compositional development in terms of four connections that emerge from Sam’s and Emily’s ways of working. They are: connecting in institutional space, connecting in personalised space, connecting in emancipated space and connecting in shared space. Four developmental points are offered within these spaces: a point of enabling, a point of discovery, a point of transformation and a point of connection. Each point of development is linked to a type of development which, drawing on the literature, have been given the following titles: scaffolded development, serendipitous development, computer-mediated development and creative development. Finally, the study suggests several implications for teachers and avenues for further research relating to the nature of personalised spaces, providing varied contextual opportunities, understanding computer- mediated composing and promoting student ownership.

Police officers have one of the most stressful jobs in existence. However, information pertaining to stress management programs is limited, especially within a Canadian context. Furthermore, little is known about the processes through which officers construct their perceptions of stress and stress management since the literature has mainly focused on enumerating the frequency of existing stressors. The present study addresses these limitations by conducting a content analysis of 24 in-depth interviews with officers from a law enforcement agency in Ontario. By drawing on symbolic interactionism, the present study concludes that police officers gravitate toward the “me” or the socialized aspect of the self (Goffman, 1969) when constructing their perceptions of stress and stress management in order to protect their image and avoid stigmatization. Policy implications based on these findings are presented at the end of the study, along with directions for future research.

There has been much enthusiasm over the power of online brand communities (OBCs). Ensuring that OBCs achieve their potential, however, is a challenge. Adopting the view that an OBC is a social entity at its core, this study examines consumers’ perceptions of OBCs and how consumers manage the continuous tension between social-related and brand-related aspects of OBCs through brand-related and non-brand-related social practices. The researcher took a symbolic interactionist approach and qualitative data were collected using ethnography and in-depth interviews from OBC participants in South Korea. The study was divided into two phases: the exploratory phase and the main study. In the first stage the researcher inspected OBCs and focused on understanding the social context by investigating four OBCs in the fashion and digital camera categories. Evidence of an OBC as a virtual third place (VTP) in the consumer’s mind was revealed. A typology was developed and social practices were revealed and defined. In the main study the researcher developed the framework of brand meaning negotiation and revealed how consumers symbolically interact and negotiate brand meaning through social practices. The tension between social-related and the brand-related aspects during this process was illustrated. The key contributions of this research are as follows. Firstly, the study reveals that an OBC has a strong VTP quality, whereby consumers hate to leave. Second, the study extends our understanding of an OBC by categorising consumers’ different perceptions of OBCs according to their attachment to the brand, the OBC and other participants. Third, the study reveals underlying social practices within OBCs that show the characteristics of a collectivistic culture. The study also fills the research gap by examining the brand meaning negotiation process and suggesting a framework that shows how underlying practices link brand and social-related aspects of an OBC together, which was formerly a “black box”. Lastly, it demonstrates that social bonds, regardless of their importance for making an OBC thrive, can be a double-edged sword and should be balanced carefully with brand-related practice.

Nos últimos anos, a atividade docente tem sido alvo de diversas pesquisas no campo educacional, e trabalhos variados, sob diferentes enfoques, buscam apontar métodos e concepções teóricas que resultem em fatores como eficiência e qualidade na educação. Contudo, poucos são os estudos que pontuam a atividade docente como trabalho numa perspectiva discursiva, já que, ao longo dos anos, essa profissão foi sócio-historicamente construída no imaginário coletivo como uma `missão, um `dom. Por isso, a dificuldade e a resistência de muitos em concebê-la como um trabalho na concepção geral do termo, ou seja, um agir humano planejado. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar os Conteúdos Básicos Comuns de Língua Estrangeira do estado de Minas Gerais, observando quais as representações sobre o trabalho docente esse documento prefigura. Como referencial teórico, valemo-nos das pesquisas desenvolvidas pelo Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (ISD), (BRONCKART, 2003; 2004; 2006; 2008) pela Ergonomia da Atividade (AMIGUES, 2002 e 2004, SAUJAT 2002 e 2004), pela Clínica da Atividade (CLOT 2006, CLOT E FAITA 2000, FAITA, 2004) e pela perspectiva discursiva de ensino como trabalho (SOUSA-E-SILVA E FAITA 2002; MACHADO 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010; MACHADO E BRONCKART 2004; MACHADO E MATENCIO 2006; AMIGUES 2004; FILLIETAZ 2004). Metodologicamente, buscou-se aplicar os procedimentos utilizados pelo ISD na interpretação e análise de textos, desenvolvidos por Bronckart (1999/2003), Bronckart & Machado (2004) e Machado (2009). Os resultados apontam para uma concepção de o trabalho docente ser uma mera aplicação de técnicas e conteúdos pedagógicos desenvolvidos por outrem e que se estabelece de forma passiva em sala de aula. Da mesma forma, a figura do profissional docente é relegada a um segundo plano, ficando à sombra de artefatos, metodologias e recursos didáticos considerados os actantes principais deste contexto de interação. O estudo aponta ainda para a necessidade de reflexão sobre os textos de caráter prescritivo no campo educacional e sobre as representações neles veiculadas. / In recent years, teaching activity has been subject of several researches in education, many works, under different approaches, seeking to identify methods and theoretical concepts that result in factors such as efficiency and quality in education. However, there are few studies that punctuate the teaching activity as work, in a discursive perspective, since over the years, the profession was socio-historically conceited in the collective imagination as a `mission, a `gift. Therefore, the difficulty and resistance of many people about conceiving it as a work, in the general term conception, ie, a human action plan. The present study aims to analyze Common Basic Contents of Second Language in the state of Minas Gerais, noting that the representations of teachers work prefigures this document. As theoretical framework, we avail ourselves from research developed by Sociodiscursive Interactionism (ISD), (Bronckart, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008) Ergonomic Activity (AMIGUES, 2002 and 2004, SAUJAT 2002 and 2004), by Clinic Activity ( 2006 CLOT, CLOT 2000 AND FAITA; FAITA, 2004) and discursive perspective of teaching as work (SOUSA-E-SILVA E FAITA 2002; MACHADO 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010; MACHADO E BRONCKART 2004; MACHADO E MATENCIO 2006; AMIGUES 2004; FILLIETAZ 2004). Methodologically, we sought to apply the procedures used by the Sociodiscrusive Interacionism about the interpretation and analysis of text Bronckart (1999/2003) and Bronckart & Machado (2004), Machado (2009).The results point to a conception of teaching profession as a mere application of technical and educational content developed by others and that is established passively in the classroom. Similarly, teacher profession is relegated to a second, overshadowed by artifacts, methodologies and teaching resources which are considered the main actants in this interactional context. The study also points to the need for reflection about prescriptive texts on educational field and their representations.
