O processo dinâmico de construção da identidade de estudantes-professores como futuros professores
Resumo
Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo narrativo qualitativo que teve como objetivo explorar o que as histórias de vida de professores de Inglês como Língua Estrangeira (EFL) em formação poderiam revelar sobre sua construção de identidades como futuros professores. Este estudo foi realizado com alunos do oitavo semestre da Universidade Pedagógica e Tecnológica da Colômbia. Portanto, a coleta de dados baseou-se em histórias de vida escritas e entrevistas em profundidade. Os resultados sugerem que existem alguns fatores críticos que ajudaram os professores em formação a construir suas identidades como futuros professores de Inglês como Língua Estrangeira. Esses fatores estão ligados às
experiências anteriores que os professores em formação tiveram como alunos de línguas e à conexão e afiliação que estabelecem com seus educadores como
imagens projetadas que eles têm de si mesmos como futuros professores. Além disso, as experiências reais de ensino foram oportunidades para os professores de
formação inicial darem sentido às inúmeras questões flutuantes na educação, o que os fez desenvolver atitudes em relação à educação como futuros professores.
