RESUMO

This work analyses the historical process of the constitution of institutional environments of elementary school teacher education in the context of the secondary and post-secondary schools, as to situate, in this process, the creation of Higher Education Institutes. From a historical perspective, we look at the profile assumed by the public policies in the area of teacher education and its respective implications in the movements of constitution of environments and elementary school teacher education, from the creation of the Escola Normal to the creation, in 1996, of the Institutos Superiores de Educação (ISEs) (Higher Education Institutes of Education). The aim of our investigation stems from the analysis of breaking up and continuity mechanisms that were, historically, characterizing not only the public policies in the area, but the implications of these mechanisms in the process of creation, or not, of a institutional locus specifically directed to professional teacher training of elementary school teachers. Thus, we have tried to situate the creation of Institutos Superiores de Educação inside the policies of teacher education, emphasizing in this process two basic elements: a) the limits and the possibilities provided by this instance before the challenge of the constitution of an institutional model specifically directed to the professional training, in higher education, of teachers; b) the way these new environments have been structured within the discussions in the Brazilian educational field, especially in the area of teacher education policies. Considering the main objectives of this investigation, we used two complementary approaches in this process characterized, respectively, by a historical study and an empirical one. For the development of the historical approach, we used the bibliography related to the subject and the official documents for the governing of the policies of teacher education in the city of São Paulo. In the empirical study, our main resource was the database of the Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP). We also used interviews, whose main object was to note, besides the official register, the former and present expectations of some members that took part in the process of creation and implementation of the ISEs. We hope this present work may foster new considerations on the issues related to public policies and to teacher education.
