Resumo
Taking the narratives of twelve physical education teachers from the Municipal School
District of Vitória, ES as a starting point, this study seeks to understand how educators
construct their teaching practices and personas. Teachers are protagonists, authors of
their own practices, who, throughout their journeys and in the social contexts in which
they live/have lived, construct and reconstruct the knowledge which they utilize in their
daily lives, going beyond their formal, academic preparation. In this way, teacher
preparation is understood as dynamic and never as complete. The study seeks to
understand the processes experienced by physical education teachers as they construct
themselves as educators -- the situations in which one becomes a teacher. These
experiences transverse their social and personal contexts, their initial and continuing
educational processes and the pedagogical practices developed in their schools. It is
presupposed that in-service teachers working in a school are installed in a privileged
locus, thus justifying the choice of using acting teachers as the subject of this study. The
choosing of research subjects and the collection of information happened in stages, with
each stage utilizing a different research instrument: questionnaires, memorials and
interviews. Based on analysis of the data collected with each one, and remaining
attentive to the need to deepen or amplify the information obtained, other data collection
techniques were selected throughout the course of the research. A dialogue between
theory and empiricism was created throughout the text as the theory being studied was
articulated through the information collected from the research subjects, highlights of
which include: the construction of professional identity, teacher education and learning
to be a teacher, teaching practice and motives for remaining in the profession. Data
analysis shows the unique and individual ways in which each professional perceives
himself/herself in this process of constructing oneself as a teacher, each profile
reconfigured in accordance with the roles and social situations in which that professional
lives/lived. The research will be able to collaborate with the creation of a better
understanding of the profession of physical education teacher as well as contributing to
the elaboration of new policies for teacher education and teaching practice.
