Descripción
Sumario:This paper discusses interfaces between teacher training and educational policies. It analyses studies about teacher characteristics associated with improvements in student performance, by matching them with data of Brazilian teachers obtained from the Questionário do Professor da Prova Brasil/Avaliação Nacional da Educação Básica 2013 [Teacher of the Prova Brasil Test/National Assessment of Basic Education]. The sample is composed of 107,278 fifth grade teachers and 118,772 ninth grade teachers. The results show aspects of the teaching profile, including sex, age, professional practice, race and training. Some important gaps deserve attention, such as the training non-compliant with current legal guidelines. Faculty perceptions about student learning problems point to factors external to school, as more relevant to learning than internal factors. Reversing such expectations is a matter to be considered in the development of training policies.
