BEGINNER TEACHERS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: DISSERTATIONS AND THESES PUBLISHED IN BRAZIL IN THE PERIOD 1996-2018

Abstract

Studies suggest that, in Brazil, we have, in Early Childhood Education, the largest number of young teachers, which may indicate that in this stage most teachers are at the beginning of their careers (VIEIRA, 2013; MARCELO GARCIA, 2010). Through this bibliographic research, it was intended to map studies produced in Brazil that deal with the theme of beginning teachers in Early Childhood Education. As data sources, dissertations and theses defended in the period 1996-2018 were used, available in the CAPES Thesis and Dissertations Catalog and in the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. It was found that there are few productions that focus on the early years of teaching in day-care centers and preschools and the need for research to support programs for the reception and training of beginning teachers in this stage of Basic Education.
