SOUZA, Roger Marchesini de Quadros. The institutional program scholarship for new teachers in a university of greater São Paulo: testimonials, contradictions and some considerations. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.02, pp.309-316. ISSN 2178-5201.
Current article briefly discusses issues related to the devaluation of teaching (and consequent crisis in teachers´ education programs in Brazil) and to some government initiatives including Higher Education Institutions and Public Policies, to valorize the teaching profession and overcome crises. Based on the Program for Teaching Education, organized by a University of the Greater São Paulo, Brazil, and on the author’s experience in PIBID (Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência - Institutional Scholarship for New Teachers), the essay provides the positive impacts, contradictions and some considerations on its implementation foregrounded on the written record of teachers’ testimonials on the Program.
