VALLE, Ione Ribeiro; BESEN, Danielly Samara  and  SATO, Silvana Rodrigues de Souza. The (re)birth of a teaching staff: the statutes for public teaching in Santa Catarina State from 1960 - 1975. Perspectiva [online]. 2016, vol.34, n.1, pp.173-188. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2016v34n1p173.

The present article analyzes one of the dimensions of the historic process of democratization of education in Santa Catarina state: the statutes regarding public teaching from 1960 and 1975, which regulated the teaching career, thus contributing to a (re)definition of the identity of teachers and to the consolidation of this profession. Among the many factors that compose the professional identity, those highlighted are the ones of moral order, considering three categories: the requirements for entering the career, the rules to remain in the teaching profession and the disciplinary sanctions. The documents, by establishing competencies and conducts that must be followed by all teachers, established a moral order and inaugurate regulations for the teaching profession. We find a continuity of most of the legal prerogatives that guided the constitution of teaching staff in the early 1960s and the establishment of new rules for the exercise of teaching in the 1970s. We also find that the two mechanisms present a normative character that is strongly based on moral guidelines, which leads us to seek Émile Durkheim´s writing (1858-1917) related to the disciplinary element of morality.

Keywords : Statutes of Teaching; Professional Identity; Moral Order.
