Perfil do professor : a (in)sustentável diferença de ser professor, hoje

Abstract

This study aims to define the teacher‟s profile in the present moment, according to perspectival teachers, students and parents since the transience and unpredictability in the teaching profession is changing so fast, these days, that the emerging paradigms of society trespass across the school, challenging new different roles and responsibilities involving new teachers “settings” where the Delors “Report” (1999) is particularly important in defining the structure of ideal profile of this century (XXI). Throughout the history of Education teacher‟s profile has changed according to the needs and demands of both society and the school (Machado, 1995), giving rise to the present moment a new paradigm of teacher. Giving this interaction between professional, ethical and pedagogical capacity, we believe essential to define the profile of the teacher, because as Jesus (2000) and Patrício (1989) refer to “investment in education cannot be affixed to the teacher as the main instrument for the attainment of school education because with his educational, professional competence and vocational skills (…) the teacher is considered a key element in the functioning of school among peers, families and students.
