TRAINING OF THE HISTORY TEACHER-RESEARCHER

Abstract

This article examines a training process of History teachers based on the promotion of research in education, as well as the importance of part of the supervised work activities being developed as research. We start from the basic assumption that teacher-researcher training is necessary and viable. Based on a bibliographic research, we discussed the theoretical orientation of educational research with emphasis on ethnographic research, as well as with practical directions in defining the locus of the research (training field school) and in the elaboration of research projects by undergraduates that focus on History teaching. The beginning of research on school everyday during the initial teacher training is a relevant condition for the promotion of a reflective teacher. We found that through a proposal for an educational research-based teacher training, the future teachers experiment the place of participants of a knowledge that builds and rebuilds itself at every moment and understand the complexity of their field. However, this training proposal is filled with challenges. Nevertheless, the results prove to be positive, such as the promotion of collective reflection and learning in schools where they work still during the initial training course.
