PAVAN, Ruth  and  BACKES, José Licínio. The process of de-proletarianization of basic education teachers. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.2, pp.35-58. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.5957.

Proletarianization is characterized by either the difficulty or impossibility teachers have to reflect about their teaching practice. It is also characterized by the loss of both their qualification (to plan, analyze, act and evaluate) and their control over their work process, and this makes them hostages to external control and gradually decreases their autonomy and resistance capacity. The aim of this paper is to reflect on the proletarianization of Basic Education teachers, regarding how this process takes place and possibilities to disrupt it. The empirical study was carried out with primary and secondary teachers of the central and western part of Brazil, by means of an interview. We have concluded that one of the ways to potentialize teachers' resistance against the proletarianization process implies a critical kind of education that regards the technical rationality as limited and insufficient, since social reality is rather rich to fit pre-established frames.

Keywords : Teacher education; Proletarianization; Critical reflection.
