dc.description.abstract | The research was based on the practices of government that constituted the mandatory teachers’ higher education who worked in public schools in Piauí, more specifically, in the region of Picos, during the period 1998-2006. Aimed to meet the State's actions that led to teacher education from the State University of Piauí and what effects these actions can be observed in the narratives of teachers . For this purpose, we analyzed policies that determined the requirement of such training , as well as six - narrative interviews with teachers who did training courses in special period , offered by the State University of Piauí . For analysis and questioning of the concept of research material - tool Foucauldian inspiration of government was used . It is concluded that teachers even before entering the training course , for determining the State , were already convinced of the need for such training . Speeches of the educational field and official speech has already worked in teachers subjectivities, transforming the higher training in a need to qualify the training in Elementary School, even before the Law no. 9394/96 require higher training as a mandatory requirement for the exercise of teaching. It is also concluded that among the teachers interviewed was not explicit any resistance training requirements because they already incorporate educational and pedagogical discourses that defined what would be a good teacher . It was shown that the practices of governance of State on teachers showed their efficiency precisely the forms of teachers assume for himself as an unquestionable truth , the need for training . This shows that the practices of government only when configured as truths convince free subjects to act as desired, ie , when the desire of the State shall be the desire of the subject . | en |
