SHIROMA, Eneida Oto  and  EVANGELISTA, Olinda. The colonialization of utopia in discourses about teacher professionalization. Perspectiva [online]. 2004, vol.22, n.02, pp.525-545. ISSN 0102-5473.

This article discusses two main themes of educational reform: teacher professional proposals and educational administration. International agencies do seek to design a different professional profile and new kinds of relationship and practices at schools that are designed to create a new organizational culture in schools, and among educational administrators. A new profile of teacher’s profession has been proposed as a fast method to cheaply produce competent personal prepared to face the challenges of the XXI century. We conclude that the new policy associated with managerial aspects is a manner of redefining the education of teachers and managers. The article also analyzes the incorporation of international recommendations in school programs.

Keywords : Teacher’s Education; Profession; Managerial Proposals; Educational Policy.
