Abstract

SILVA, Ariane Franco Lopes da. Virtual world and professional identities: implications to teacher training. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.45, pp.473-492. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/dialogo.educ.15.045.DS05.

Based on the theory of social representations (MOSCOVICI, 2003), this research analyses teachers' representations of their identity, teaching practice and relationship with school management. Subjects produced a visual representation of teachers and head-teachers, with avatars and debated these representations. The data from the visual instrument and from the debate were treated by the content analysis methodology (BARDIN, 1977). The results revealed a relationship between visual image and attributes, behaviour and rules that conventionalize professional identities and teaching practices. The visual media promoted reflections upon these representations and contributed to teacher training, to the field of education and to school management, as well as to the theory of social representations.

Keywords : Teacher Identity; School Management; Social Representations; Verbal and Visual Language.
