SABERES PROFISSIONAIS DE PROFESSORES: FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE QUE ATRAVESSA E É ATRAVESSADA PELA EXPERIÊNCIA E MEMÓRIA

This article is a part of research developed through PNPD/Capes, in Unesp-Presidente Prudente. The objective of that research was to understand the formative processes and cultural, school and non-school practices, which are producing the professional knowledge of elementary school teachers – initial and final years – as a condition for the professional teaching practice in the perspective of a qualified public school. Our objective here is to understand the role assigned by these narrating teachers to the professional knowledge built from school education to be a teacher and the relationship they establish with the knowledge of experience, involved in the production of their professional teaching knowledge from the daily coexistence with " their teachers”, those who at various times present themselves as professional models in their way of acting as professional teachers within the school; but also through the cultural transits experienced in the course of life as places of learning. It is inscribed in the field of narrative research, having used the life stories of six teachers as a data production device and comprehensive analysis as an interpretive device. From the analysis of the narratives we can infer that the personal dimension, the person of the teacher appears as a kind of “catalyst” of the experiences suffered in the different spaces and times of school education and in the different transits. The teacher's professional training process takes place simultaneously in the individual and collective dimensions, combining experiences and memories that constitute their professional identity and the foundation of their teaching practices.

Food and Nutrition Knowledge of Elementary School Teachers in a Region of Lisbon, Portugal

Children's eating habits are formed during childhood and are significantly influenced by the school environment, which is why teachers are seen as an example of behavior to imitate. For children to receive accurate information, teachers must have a solid understanding of food and nutrition. This study aimed to assess the level of food and nutrition understanding in elementary school teachers. 81 teachers participated in a cross-sectional observational study. A 9-question survey was built to gauge their level of understanding about food and nutrition, with three levels established: high (≥7 points), moderate (4-6 points), and low (≤3 points). In this research, whereas 79% of instructors taught nutritional principles and 44% had a moderate degree of understanding on food and nutrition, 63% of teachers had poor levels of training in nutrition. The teachers' greatest difficulties were related to the nutritional value of foods, regardless of their years of experience. Teachers who have been teaching for less than five years have a better degree of knowledge in food and nutrition, compared to those who have been teaching for longer (p<0.001). This study supports the idea that elementary school instructors need more dietary education, especially those who have been teaching for more years.
