Usina de experiencias: public policies, teacher training and Development Poles from the narratives of the project managers

Abstract

Initial and continuing teacher training has occupied a preponderant place in the agenda of pedagogical concerns and ideological and political interests that are condensed around education as a social phenomenon. Over the course of time, many processes have gone through, trying to implement differentiated training projects with their own characterizations. In this sense, experiences can be identified that had different intentions of base, and varied intensities in their effects, but that left traces that today survive in the institutions, in the provincial educational systems and in the subjects themselves. In this article we will recover the project “Polos de Desarrollo” as part of an public policy for teacher education based on the narratives of the actors involved. For this purpose the biographical-narrative approach will be used, since it gives the possibility to reconstruct and reorganize the experience of the subjects through their own narratives, attributing meanings to the past in relation to the present and to the personal conceptions. Such public policy lacks visibility in local academic productions, hence the centrality of recovering their wealth and their contributions to teacher training.
