THE STATUTE OF TEACHING WORK IN THE REFERENCE CURRICULUM OF MINAS GERAIS

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to analyze the introductory text of the Reference Curriculum of the state of Minas Gerais regarding the regulation of a teacher’s work included in it and the responsibility assigned to the teacher in this part of the document. The theoretical-methodological framework to which we are affiliated is that of the Socio-Discursive Interactionism, and the methodological procedure used is the Semantics of Acting in order to investigate if a teacher as conceived by the Reference Curriculum is an actor or an agent in their professional acting. From this analysis, we can state that the document establishes intertextual relations with the Common National Curriculum Base and assigns the teacher with the responsibility of applying the teaching project as prescribed therein, conceiving the teacher as an agent and not as an actor in his professional activity.
