The counter-reform in teacher training in Brazil: BNC-Training and throwbacks to teacher valuing

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyze Resolution CNE/CP 2/2019 - which defines the current National Curriculum Guidelines for the initial teacher training and sets the Common National Base (BNC-Training) - in order to identify and discuss the implications of proposed changes in valuing teaching work. This was a qualitative study, in which data were collected through literature and documentary analysis, systematized and analyzed through two categories: Relationship teacher training - professional ethos; Professional appreciation and engagement. The results demonstrate the alignment of the new resolution with the neoliberal prescription, limiting training to technical and pragmatic aspects adjusted to an economistic perspective. This resolution clearly expresses a standardization of policies for teacher training focused on skills in order to meet the assumptions of the BNCC. Also, the present logic neglects professional development as a collective project and becomes associated with meritocratic criteria of individual performance related to liberal ideas. Finally, we consider the need to build an active/collective resistance, both at the pedagogical and political levels, against the precarity and privatization of higher education.
