NOTES ON NETWORK TRAINING IN THE NATIONAL PACT FOR LITERACY IN THE RIGHT AGE

Abstract

This article presents the results of a PhD research that seeks to understand, from the interaction
with training agents who worked in the National Pact for Literacy in the Right Age (PNAIC), in Minas Gerais, by
the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF), the process of implementation of this teacher training program. Based on this context, the objective is to analyze the limits and the possibilities of the realization of this public
policy of government, until the year 2016, from the appropriation of the interviewees. For that, in the
methodological aspect, the development of the study was articulated to the qualitative approach, having, as
instruments for the collection of data, the accomplishment of bibliographical revision on the context of the teacher
training for the initial years of Basic Education, the documentary survey on the PNAIC and, also, semi-structured
interviews with training agents who worked within the UFJF. The data analyzed allowed us to understand that
PNAIC training was understood as veryrelevant in the Brazilian scenario, with the possibility of improving literacy
and, therefore, guaranteeing studentlearning. However, being networked, it presented limits aimed at aspects such
as structural problems related to the force of political interference in the different instances of the training network;
distance between the trainers who worked for theUFJF and the literacy teachers who worked in the teaching units;
difficulty in making the formation of a networkviable and also related to the work of the trainers, who are the
main responsible for translating the training policy.
