Abstract

The National Pact for Literacy at the Right Age (PNAIC) proposes to provide teachers from the 1st to the 3rd grades of Elementary School the required knowledge on schooling and literacy processes so that children, in Brazil, are properly schooled up to 8 years old. In this program, the teacher educator’s role is discussed through a questionnaire applied to eleven teacher educators of the State University of Maringá, used to investigate how these influences are characterized. The collected data demonstrate that PNAIC developments are not merely restricted to improvements of teachers’ practices in the classroom, but also include: a) external work for continuous education; b) participation in institutional research projects; c) presentation and participation in academic events; d) teaching in specialization courses; e) admittance to Post-Graduation Programs for Master’s or Doctoral degrees. Results show that PNAIC presents more extensive perspectives and influences than those initially intended.
