Abstract

This article discusses the teacher profile with the Teacher
Qualification Programme delivered by the ‘Rio de Janeiro
Education Institute’ in the 1950s and 60s with an emphasis on
investigating teacher qualification processes, access to the Teacher
Qualification Programme, as well as the Programme’s hierarchy
issues and teaching careers. In addition to some specific features
shared with other staff of the ‘Institute’ and the appeal to their
‘teaching vocation’ as the major reason for embracing the teaching
career, a hierarchy was also directly observed, related to: a) ‘the
school subjects taught’; b) ‘the teaching district and level of
authority the referred district was granted’; c) the ‘circulation of
the teaching materials’ designed by these specific members of the
school staff.
