The National Teacher Training Program (1999-2001) from biographical-narrative research

Abstract

In recent years, teacher training has been questioned by national policies and government discourses. That is why it becomes nodal to recover experiences that led to the strengthening of teacher training from alternative institutional and pedagogical frameworks. We will share here the findings of a doctoral research in relation to the potentialities and tensions assumed by the policy of the National Teacher Training Program (1999-2001) in Higher Institutes of Teacher Training in Argentina. We will interpret the policy not only from the analysis of the regulations and official documents, but, mainly, from its most human face. Therefore, we will recover the voices of the subjects who participated in the planning and implementation of the program from a biographical-narrative methodological approach. This perspective gives the possibility of inhabiting the training policies from the traces left in the biographies of the subjects, providing new insights and approaches to the field of Argentine teacher training.
