A política de formação inicial de professores em exercício na Bahia (2007-2018)

Abstract

This thesis presents the results of a research whose general objective was to examine the politi-cal of the initial training of in-service teachers, assumed and implemented by the governments of Bahia, in the period 2007-2018 and its multiple determinations. The question that mobilized this research was: What is the policy of teacher training outlined by the governments of the state of Bahia, in the period 2007-2018, with a view to facing the problem of the large number of unlicensed teachers, and what are the multiple determinations that guided the choices made? In order to reach the proposed objective, the following methodological procedures were carried out: document analysis, highlighting the following sources: Presidential Decree nº 6.755/2009; Ordinance no. 883/2009; Normative Ordinance No. 9/2009; Minutes of the Per-manent State Forum meetings to support Teacher Education in Bahia held between 2010 and 2016; Management reports of Instituto Anísio Teixeira (IAT) 2012, 2013; Bahia Strategic Plan (2008), among other sources. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were applied to six participants. The main results of the research substantiated the defense of the following thesis: The Teacher Training Policy implemented by the governments of Bahia in the period (2007-2018), articulated with Federal Decree nº 6.755/2009, was configured in a strategy of massification and teacher qualification, marked by the strong tendency to seek to raise educa-tional indices, which, by not ensuring adequate conditions for the training and permanence of professors in higher education institutions, produced training in precarious conditions, thus revealing an alignment with the neoliberal conception of education and training recommended by Multilateral Organizations that since the 1990s have been putting pressure on Latin Ameri-can countries and Brazil to carry out, on a large scale, “adaptive and harmless” to the capital system. The main program of initial in-service training used was the face-to-face and distance PARFOR. Two main determinations for the way of being of politics were highlighted: The politics of class conciliation of the Popular Front governments of the Workers Party (PT) and the directives of the Multilateral Organizations.
