SILVA, Analise de Jesus da. A formação inicial e continuada dos professores de adolescentes: os adolescentes existem?. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2007, vol.07, n.21, pp.199-212. ISSN 1981-416X.

This text aims to present considerations previously introduced by ourselves in our Master’s research, which brought up the relationships between teacher’s trainers, teachers and teenager students, from the initial teacher’s professional schooling to the practice at Basic Education. The first consideration emphasizes the almost non-existence of teenagers life approach in the experience of teacher’s trainers. The absence of curricular subjects that discuss this stage of human development brings about a denial of the importance of the study of their specific life experiences. The second consideration is the strong identification of the education conception adopted by teacher’s trainers with its manifestation in their pedagogical practice. Such manifestations, here, are the relationship that trainers establish with their graduate students, the conceptions held by trainers about teacher’s schooling, the degree of insertion of trainers at third level education. And they are, to a great extent, resulting from the educational conception adopted by trainers, from the non-requirement of didactic schooling and/or of practices at those educational stages by the trainers, from the non-existence of a life-long schooling policy and even from the pedagogical and physical spaces that facilitate group practices of trainers. We acknowledged lack of bibliography concerning adolescents, poor adolescents, initial and life-long education of trainers of third level education as well as bibliography dealing with the relationship between these subjects and the subject people involved with them.

Keywords : Initial Education of Teachers; Adolescents.
