Abstract

HERNANDEZ ARAGON, Magaly. The teaching job seen from the constructs of normalist teacher educators in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Prax. Saber [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.37, e05.  Epub Nov 01, 2023. ISSN 2216-0159.  https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v14.n37.2023.15645.

Undertaking studies on the initial training of normalist teacher educators requires problematizing it from multiple perspectives and contexts in order to promote research in accordance with the institutional and formative realities that are generated in normalist teacher training schools (educational centers born during the Mexican Revolution of 1910 to provide education opportunities for people living on the countryside). This article presents a study focused on analyzing the conceptions about the teaching work communicated and performed by two teacher educators during their pedagogical work in two normalist teacher training schools located in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The study was developed from an interpretative methodological perspective based on Grounded Theory, supported by participant observation and in-depth interviews. The results show the configuration of two emerging categories: teaching work as social service and teaching work as community commitment. The notions of teaching work make visible the experiences of the teacher educators, a way of seeing, being, and relating to one's own person and to the normalist teaching profession.

Keywords : initial training; teacher educators; teaching work; normalist teacher; training schools.
