Abstract

BOUFLEUER, José Pedro. A profissão professor: crise de profissão ou profissão em crise?. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.39, pp.391-408. ISSN 1981-0431.

Assuming a crisis in the teaching profession, the article analyzes this “crisis of profession” based on a paradox involving teachers, which is that their work is believed to be crucial in solving many of society’s ills, while their profession is underappreciated. As to the “profession in crisis”, it points to three situations that corroborate it: the upsets and inversions affecting the links between political order and education, the loss of focus of the teacher’s work, and the lack of an intimate relationship with knowledge. Lastly, the article presents the images of the “organist” and “receptionist” teachers, with the intention of clarifying the line of argument presented.

Keywords : Teaching profession; Crisis in Teaching; Political Order; School; Images of Teaching.
