Teacher Education: A New Rationality via University Outreach

Abstract

This article aims to correlate outreach principles and guidelines with policies on teacher education and on action in the public school. To that end, the study considered Resolution n. 2/2015, Resolution n. 2/2019 and the Base Nacional Comum Curricular [National Common Curriculum Base] (BNCC). The qualitative approach was carried out using thematic analysis with the software MAXQDA to extract possible correlations between education and action policies. The theoretical framework on education for autonomy and social commitment informed the analysis perspective, considering university outreach as an educational-scientific-social field which enables a critical- emancipatory teacher education. Results indicate that outreach is the reference locus for providing creative responses to education policies.
