MEMÓRIA E NARRATIVAS DOCENTES: REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS SOBRE A FORMAÇÃO DO PROFESSOR DE GEOGRAFIA / MEMORY AND TEACHING NARRATIVES: SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ON THE FORMATION OF THE GEOGRAPHY TEACHER

O artigo tem o proposito de analisar a memoria e as representacoes sociais que constituem a formacao do professor por meio das narrativas dos licenciados pelo Curso de Geografia da Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (UESB). Nessa perspectiva, buscou-se compreender o significado dessa formacao a luz das categorias memoria e representacoes sociais. No que se refere aos aspectos metodologicos foram realizados estudos teoricos das categorias apresentadas e entrevistas semiestruturadas com os egressos do referido curso. A pesquisa evidenciou a multiplicidade de sentidos, representacoes e significados que eles constroem em relacao ao processo de formacao e identidade docente. Assim, foi possivel constatar que a configuracao dessa identidade vai alem da formacao academica e didatica recebida na Universidade, pois se inicia, muitas vezes, antes do ingresso na licenciatura, se consolida nas praticas cotidianas e se aprimora no chao da escola, num constante fazer-se docente.
