RIBEIRO, Letícia Mendonça Lopes  and  DAMASCENO, Ednacelí Abreu. THE BEGINNING OF THE PROFESSION: AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THE FORMATION OF TEACHER PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY. Revista Teias [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.50, pp.105-118.  Epub Dec 26, 2019. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2017.29343.

The research aimed to identify important aspects of the beginning of the professional exercise of beginning teachers, considering the importance of this period for the formation of the teaching professional identity. Thus, we interviewed five beginning teachers who began their profession as teachers in elementary school classes in the city of Rio Branco, in the state of Acre. Interviewees had different trajectories, but all said that the way school staff received them in the very first schools they worked on was very important for them to feel secure (or insecure) in their early activities as teachers. It is recognizable that the construction of the teacher professional identity is associated with the support that the beginning teacher receives his first school actions.

Keywords : Beginners Teachers; Professional Socialization; Teaching Professional Identity.
