A study carried out as part of the work for a PhD thesis in Education Sciences whose purpose was to find out about and understand the conceptions on childhood that are expressed in or related to early teacher training for the 1st cycle of basic education (CEB) in Portugal since April 1974. A multirreferencial problematic was built up around the discursive management of the crisis of modern childhood, of teacher professionalism and the school institution in late modernity. The morphological dimension of the study consisted of the configuration and social mapping of narratives on childhood which were identified in the interpretation of the discourse fields produced in the analysis. Moreover, narratives on teacher professionalism and school education have been identified with which narratives on childhood are articulated in a particular form. The paper briefly presents the problematic, the methodological dimension and some of the results of the study, highlighting those relative to the transformations verified in the speeches during the period in analysis, and the social mapping of childhood narratives.
