Development of Preservice Teachers’ Professional Identity in the Context of Lesson Planning for Student Teaching

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to investigate the role of Lesson Planning for Student Teaching in the development of the pre-service professional identity of mathematics teachers. To meet this objective, a qualitative research was developed, using a semi-structured interview as an information collection instrument, with Math undergraduate students from a Math Teacher Education course. The prospective teachers revealed that, during the Lesson Planning for Student Teaching, they mobilized/develop elements related to the teacher professional identity, such as: beliefs about lesson planning; appropriation of theoretical professional value; critical sense in lesson planning; availability for work with peers; research skills; and the capacity to reflect before the experience. These results evidence that the interactions between interns and between interns and teacher educators allowed prospective teachers to develop a questioning attitude and reveal expectations for their future professional practice, anticipating challenges.
