| Description: | The devaluation and growing loss of prestige of the teaching profession and the teaching career is a global phenomenon. This complex issue involves multiple dimensions, including remuneration and working conditions, school infrastructure, initial training in higher education and its disconnection from practice, as well as the social perception of the profession. In Brazil, between 2007 and 2008, there was a political-administrative movement by the Ministry of Education in favor of valuing the teaching profession. One of the most significant public policies involved the creation of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science, and Technology, with 20% of their spots reserved for the initial and/or continuing education of teachers. The aim of this paper is precisely to analyze how this new institutional framework understood its commitment to teacher education. Using a mixed-methods and correlational approach, a documentary analysis of the Institutional Development Plans of the 38 Federal Institutes, conducted between 2022 and 2023, was carried out to map the place of teacher education in the missions, visions, and values of these institutions, that is, in the definition of their central purpose, future objectives, and guiding principles. The results show that this theme is not central in any of the institutions' missions but has a modest presence in the vision and values of, respectively, three and two Federal Institutes. The study concludes that the Federal Institutes have not managed to reverse the prevailing logic of the devaluation of teaching degrees in one of their strategic planning tools. |
