Abstract
This study aimed to understand the social representations of teachers regarding Professional and Technological Education (EPT) and the constitution of teachers' identities within the context of the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais (IFMG). Based on this, the objective of such research proposal was to study the "versatile" teacher who transits through the various levels and modalities of Basic, Technical and Technological Education (EBTT), analyzing the discourses and paths of these subjects, as well as their identity constitution. Our theoretical framework is based on the conceptual foundations of the EPT, the Social Representation Theory (SRT), the Central Nucleus Theory (CNT) and theories of identity formation. The research was qualitative and analyzed electronic questionnaires applied to teachers at the various Federal Institutes in Minas Gerais. We obtained a total of 357 responses, from which we selected a sample of 125 teachers. Among these, 60 had a bachelor's degree and 65 a teaching degree. We used a software called openEvoc to analyze the data: a software used to support research into social representations. Through the data, we were able to know the teachers, identifying their social representations of Professional and Technological Education, integral education, the teaching role and being a teacher at the Federal Institute. In addition, through the discourses shared by the teachers, we mapped social representations that indicate the identity traits of these professionals. The results of the study point to an ongoing constitution of the teacher identity, influenced by representations that are sometimes close to and sometimes far from the conceptual bases of Professional and Technological Education. As an educational product of this study, a dynamic and interactive e-book was created to enhance the understanding of being a teacher at the Federal Institute. In the end, it is expected that this material may be useful to other researchers to consolidate an understanding of the work carried out by teaching professionals in the training areas of the Federal Institute.
