SART, Flavia Medeiros. Pelos caminhos da universitarização: reflexões a partir da masterização dos IUFM francesesGoing along with the universitarization: reflections from the masterization of the French IUFM. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.04, pp.215-243. ISSN 0102-4698.

The article problematizes the bindings generally established between the universitarization of teachers’ education and the movement of professionalization and, therefore, the valorization of teaching. The discussion is based on results of a research about teachers place at the current field of teachers’ education, internationally characterized by the universitarization of teaching. Taking the French context as a reference, the investigation focused on the role of teachers’ educators - traditionally active in the teaching curricular stages and at the IUFM - in the teachers’ education, when it was reclassified in France to the master level and included in the university. The challenges faced by these educators suggest that the universitarization may, under certain conditions, significantly weaken the socio-professional dimension of initial education of teachers, compromising the legitimacy of this modality of teachers’ education in the educational field and producing a context paradoxically close to the anti-universitarization.

Keywords : Teachers’ Education; Teaching Professionalization; Universitarization; Teachers; Educators.
