SANTOS, Ana Paula Rufino dos. The image of the teacher and the attractiveness of teaching: statements about the teaching career in print media. Revista da FAAEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2014, vol.23, n.42, pp.197-206. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.2014/jul.dezv23n42017.

This text invests in analyzing the production of discourses on the attractiveness of the teaching career in journalistic texts addressing various issues related to basic education, in order to understand, from the intersection between "the image of the teacher in media" and "the attractiveness of teaching", discursive production practices of representations of teaching set out in reports on attractiveness of teaching published by print media. For the analysis of 04 reports published between 2010 and 2013 on the teaching career in Brazil from Victor Civita Foundation online archive about the importance of teachers and quality of education, we operate Foucault's analytical discourse in order to read, describe and discuss "how discourse operates and how it reveals" (FOUCAULT, 2006). The analysis of statements of print media suggests that the discursive formations select and direct the representation processes of teaching and appreciation of teachers as signifying practices.

Keywords : Attractiveness of Teaching; Discourse; Teacher´s Image.
