Articulations between established teachers and outsiders within the context of a teacher learning community

ABSTRACT The article addresses the relations between teachers considered established and those seen as outsiders within the context of a teacher learning community based on the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It seeks to understand who the subjects are as to professional teaching knowledge under a concept of practice-training induction. Based on a theoretical-methodological perspective, the researchers have produced a study case where the research subjects were also the narrators of their own perceptions, expectations and teaching actions. Holding as reference the studies of Elias and Scotson (2000); Zeichner (2008; 2015), Cochran-Smith (2012) and Nóvoa (2017), it is possible to consider that the teacher learning community reveals itself as a strategy to train subjects, where teacher learning makes teachers’ groups move toward insurgent proposals of professional performance.
