Os efeitos da globalização no trabalho/identidade docentes

Abstract

This of globalization has interfered in teachers work and professional identity. This is an exploratory and descriptive study, so we adopt as methodological strategy the qualitative research, and used semi structured interview as fundamental procedure. We specifically sought to verify which changes have been register in their teaching practice since the phenomenon of globalizations. We seek to know if the new regulation of educational system limits teacher autonomy, and how teachers feels their teach / educate work, especially as educational reforms and changes in education management model. As interviews result we found teachers voice about their work / identity which constituted this research empirical material. Conceptually, we start by exposing the prospects and trends of globalization, that through review of the literature was possible the concept of globalization, defined broadly as a process characterized by the intensification of worldwide social relations established between the local and the global. Then we expatiate on the effects of globalization on work / teacher identity, which served as the theoretical framework. Subsequently we analyze the voice of teachers interviewed and we realized that due to change in work / teacher identity, as with globalization there is an intensification and social devaluation and wage his work, an overload of work and roles for teachers, which is causing the teacher malaise and identity crisis, since they are undergoing a setting in the education system in which they develop their practice, in other words, restricting their autonomy. We also sought to understand how the teacher can teach today with these changes. It may be noted that there are still traces of teachers with ideal vocation, selflessness which undermines the struggle for better working conditions and professional recognition. Given this context presented here, we believe that this research can bring important insights about how teachers are seeing and feeling the effects of globalization on their work /teacher identity, therefore by understanding the constraints that permeate the teaching practice, they may affirm their identity as professionals and change the direction of their professionalism and professionalization interference even in the context of the phenomenon of globalization and ensure an education humanizing of being, with a view to a more just and egalitarian.
