RICHIT, ADRIANA  and  ALMEIDA, WILLIAM XAVIER DE. Perspectives for development of educators of prospective teachers in the public policies context. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.670-690.  Epub Jan 11, 2021. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol36n22020.100486.

The article discusses the prospects for the professional development of prospective teachers' educators based on the analysis of the official documents related to the training of higher education teachers and the actions and programs of agencies linked to the Ministry of Education aimed at higher education. The study was based on the concepts of professional development and teaching professionality defined by António Nóvoa, Maria do Céu Roldão, and Selma Pimenta. The analysis, qualitative and interpretative, focused on a set of official documents recovered through a careful search on the official websites linked to the Ministry of Education. These documents, which constituted the empirical material of the study, were analyzed and interpreted, from which we highlight two perspectives of professional development for higher education teachers: the university is the locus for the educators' development, whether as an instance for carrying out post-graduate, post-doctoral programs, institutional and inter-institutional partnerships, as well as providing opportunities for different types of professional experiences at the level of teaching and research; the development of the educator is achieved through research and knowledge production, as the incentives are concentrated on the distribution of research and graduate scholarships and awards for outstanding work.
