Resumo
The purpose of the present text is to investigate how the studies
related to teacher knowledge were received within the field of
teacher education in Brazil. The main issue here is to understand
a bit further, from a dialogue with literature and recent studies,
how the scholars of teacher education have perceived the arrival
of these new ways of seeing, appreciating and investigating the
work of the teacher. The text points out the lack of consensus
among the authors selected for the study, and that their arguments
can be seen in the context of enunciations that underlie the
discussions within the field of teacher education. Such statements
exhibit at least three dimensions: epistemological, political, and
professional. The first refers to the controversies around the issue
of the constitution of the concept of reflective teacher and its
philosophical foundations. The second is related to the political
meanings and unfolding of the statements. The third dimension is
expressed in their potential consequences for the teaching
profession. The article concludes by indicating the need to pay
attention to three issues in the debates about teacher knowledge
and education in Brazil: the risk of, contradictorily, producing an
even more alienated teacher; the problem of the quality of the
debate in the educational field and, lastly, the importance of
establishing a better relationship between the national theoretical
tradition and the international literature.
