Formação de professores no ensino superior brasileiro: contribuições de Anisio Teixeira, Darcy Ribeiro e da ANFOPE

Abstract

The issue of teacher education is of interest not only to education professionals, but to society as a whole, bearing in mind the universal character of school education for all as one of the greatest achievements of modernity. This work examines teacher training based on the theoretical field developed by Anísio Teixeira and Darcy Ribeiro, having as a historical point the enactment of Law 9394/1996, when the greatest expansion of higher education in Brazil is recorded and, in its wake, the higher growth of the education market. It seeks to develop the relationship between the formulations of these two intellectuals, taken as organic intellectuals at the service of the Brazilian people, and the lines of resistance and propositions formulated by ANFOPE - National Association for the Training of Professionals in Education, developed against the process of privatization of education after theenactment of the LDB. It starts from the understanding that the ideology of globalization under the scrutiny of the neoliberal wave of privatizations would have boosted the educational market, placing education between two lines: scientific,technical, social and historical humanistic training, under the premise of humantraining and social development , versus training reduced to technical aspects, under the model of “competences and skills”, conceived as a practice in itself, aimed at finding solutions to local problems, in denial of social totality. The work develops a theoretical effort to analyze the training of teachers in higher education. It offers theoretical references for understanding the contradictory framework that crosses this teaching in Brazil, pointing out assumptions for the defense of the scientific- technical-pedagogical training of teachers, directly related to the national, democratic, sovereign development of the country.
