INTEGRATIVE REVIEW ON TEACHER TRAINING IN RETRATOS DA ESCOLA JOURNAL

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the results of a systematic review study of integrative synthesis type on teacher training in articles published at the journal Retratos da Escola (in Portuguese, School Portraits Journal). It discusses the approach of the texts in terms of processes, conditions, and policies. The aim of the study is to examine the articles and their articulation within the purpose of the journal, that is, to be a place for publications which stand for the interests of the teachers, as a class, of education, and of the country. The analysis takes as reference the following categories: 1) initial and continuing teacher education; 2) training for professional performance; and 3) public policies and their impacts. The published articles show forms of resistance when denouncing the contradictions of the purposes and conditions of teacher training. Therefore, the journal claims to be a space for publishing research and reflections on the teacher, both as an individual and a worker, ensuring their social and professional recognition.
