Profissionalismo, profissionalidade e profissionalização de trabalhadores de línguas não licenciados: o caso de um curso de extensão universitária

Abstract

This research focuses on the asymmetries between public policies, higher education training and the work of workers in education who, along with the researcher, work in the context of English courses and who do not have higher education degrees. We sought to articulate the constructions and mediations of these professionals about their educational practices with the study's structuring concepts, namely: the inconsistencies of teacher education policies (COSTA 2012; DINIZ-PEREIRA, 2013; ROMANOWSKI, 2012; SAVIANI, 2008), the work of teachers from the notions of professionalism, professionalization and professionalism (PAULA JÚNIOR, 2012; WEBER, 2003; GORZONI; DAVIS, 2017; AMBROSETTI; ALMEIDA, 2007), the commodification of language teaching and learning (FREITAS, 2010 ; JORDÃO, 2009) and the consequent appropriation by the capital of labor relations (MARX, 2013; ANTUNES, 2009). This work listened to real subjects for the purpose of understanding, analyzing and elucidating, as well as the eventual and potential resolution of some gaps from the conversation circles (MOURA; LIMA, 2014) and the qualitative analysis of the generated data. The research participants are teachers at an English language course at the university extension of a Higher Education Institution in Anápolis, Goiás, and do not have a degree in teaching. The conversations were recorded in audio and video with the prior authorization of the participants and notes were taken in a field notebook. Data triangulation was performed (TRIVIÑOS, 1987) and sought for possible convergences or divergences between these elements and the meanings constructed by the participants. We sought, in critical literacy (PENNYCOOK, 1998; MONTE-MÓR; 2014; 2015; PESSOA. PINTO, 2013; DUBOC. FERRAZ, 2011) ,possible paths for the resignification of the educational practice of these professionals from the development of an educational product.
