POBLETE, Guillermo Zamora; PARDO, Marisa Meza  e  VIAL, Pilar Cox. How recognized do beginning teachers feel as an authority and what factors do they attribute to it?. Educ. Pesqui. [online]. 2020, vol.46, e222650.  Epub 17-Nov-2020. ISSN 1678-4634.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1678-4634202046222650.

Currently, building a relationship of pedagogical authority is a challenge and a source of tension, especially for beginning teachers. Today teachers are not guaranteed respect, listening and recognition just for the exercise of the role. This means that teachers do not automatically hold an authority granted by the school, as was the case in the traditional order. In this context, the general objective of this research is to examine the degree to which Chilean beginning teachers feel recognized as an authority and the factors they consider benefit and hinder this recognition. For this purpose, a questionnaire is applied to 576 beginning teachers (with one to five years of experience) of secondary education who serve students from different socioeconomic groups. The general results indicate that the recognition of authority perceived by beginning teachers is especially associated with their professional capital and the social profile of their students. It was also found that colleagues and administrators are important sources of support in feeling recognized. The study concludes that, given the decline of the school as a traditional institution, which granted teachers a ground of authority, nowadays that support has been replaced by the close school community, the one where the teacher works, with peers and managers being the main guarantors of professional recognition.
