Resumen de ¿Qué hacemos con la formación de los profesores?: Reflexión crítica del tránsito del Instituto Pedagógico a la UMCE y la liberalización de la formación de docentes secundarios
The aim of this chapter is to reflect on the initial training of Chilean secondary school teachersduring the civil-military dictatorship, who were trained at the Instituto Pedagógico (IP) until 1981, the Academia Superior de Ciencias Pedagógicas until 1985, and then went on to be trained in different universities inthe country, professionalising teaching. What do we do with the training of teachers? is a question that thosein power should have asked themselves until they inserted them into the liberalising logic of private establishments through a model that has allowed them to make a business out of teacher training, taking into account allthe relevance that it means: that all educational decisions are intentional. Thus, the aim of the IP, from a criticaland structuralist point of view, would have been to erase its social seal and integrate teachers into a marketsystem based on competences where capitalist logics of political and cultural hegemony are reproduced. Inthis way, ideologies could be transmitted, generating greater control over what was taught, since all the rectorswere trusted by the ruler in power and every teacher was trusted by the rectors. This would have been a strategy of governmentality, to train teachers as objects and not subjects of the system, being the beginning of themarket educational organisation that was consolidated in democracy
