Abstract

CAMPOS, Joana. Professionalization of teachers: Re-positioning in the classifications of professions. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.2, pp.391-417. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.10109.

The education and training of the population is nowadays an important task. Political decision is not made without measuring educational outcomes (Schleicher, 2012). Therefore, there is an increasing demand in what teacher performance is concerned (Lanthaume, 2006; Schleicher, 2012). The text is part of a wider study on teachers in the Portuguese educational system. In the analysis made, the available knowledge on the process of teacher professionalization in Portugal was enhanced. The analysis of teachers' professional group has been developed in connection with its professionalization process, in particular the questions around the differentiation processes and internal homogenization, focusing the analysis on the (re)placement of teachers in the classification of professions. Methodologically, the basic sources for the descriptors of groups of classifications of professions are the ones expressed in international and national classifications.

Keywords : Teachers; Professionalization; Professional classifications.
