Figures of disciples of a teacher training program in higher education in Brazil tracing your ways to be

Abstract

In this study, we try to trace some vectors of the ways of being of students of a course of the National Teacher Training Plan (PARFOR) at a Federal University in Northeast Brazil. These are students with differentiated demand from that proposed by the regular courses of Brazilian higher education. Faced with this, it is questioned to what extent these specificities make it possible to locate singular identity process. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were used, with application of questionnaires and interviews, and analysis of data by excel and maps of association of ideas. The results indicate general, but also specific, ways of being that are built in the process of entry and permanence, namely: family, spatial, gender, school, teaching practice and perspectives for the future. This allows us to say that these students circumscribe identity processes on diverse webs of socio-spatial interaction.
