Abstract

The article systematizes a study with elementary school teachers, in southern Brazil, in an effort to analyze the meanings revealed in their discourses about work and profession in schools. We sought to understand how these subjects do or do not reveal themselves as professionals in their condition as women-teachers and how they conduct their educational work in school. Based on these meanings, we developed a route by which it is believed that school characteristics are systematized as effective spaces and times of professional constitution for these women, based on gender relations, historicity, and beliefs. In this time and space, the teacehrs recover meanings and desires that drive and constitute the subjects and pedagogical work.
