There have been many transformations through the history of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education (EPCT). One of the most significant was the creation in 2008 of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (IFs). It is necessary to consider that, at the same time that institutional changes occurred, there were also changes in the profile and performance of teachers. In this sense, to construct management strategies it is necessary to consider the transformation of the institution comprising the people who lead the institution in its daily life. As it is an institution that acts specifically in the EPCT, the IF confronted with the continuous reconstruction of its image and its institutional identity, presenting dilemmas and contradictions in the constitution of teaching professionalism. The central problem of this thesis is to understand the social representations of teachers and managers of an IF about the meaning of “being a teacher”, considering the historical-social context in which such representations were constituted. In this perspective, the aim of this thesis is to analyze the social representations of managers and teachers of an IF about “being a teacher” in the institution, considering their performance in different levels of education, research, extension, management and articulating the analyzes carried out in such a way as to allow an understanding of how the teaching professional in the institution is revealed. The perspective of this study is psychosocial, with theoretical-methodological basis of Theory of Social Representations of Moscovici (1961), privileging the procedural approach (or sociogenetic). The method in question involved a three-dimensional analysis of social representations considering the field of representation, information and attitude. The research was developed in three phases of production and analysis of interdependent data, the first exploratory phase and the other phases of deepening. We used multiple methodological strategies, such as: verification of the technical literature of the topic, documentary analysis, free association of words, questionnaire of diverse format, focus groups and semistructured interviews for the production of data, and the technique of natural semantic networks, analysis of similarity and content analysis as analysis procedures. The research participants are 63 teachers and managers of a Campus of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of São Paulo (IFSP). The results demonstrate that the figurative nucleus of social representations about “being a teacher” in the IFSP is centered on the word “challenger”. The field of representation is marked by affections whose connotation is predominantly positive, revealing that “being a teacher” in the IF refers to the image of quality. The affectivity present in the verbal and written discourses of the teachers and managers leads to the responsible and committed attitude of the studied group towards their professional work in the IF, demonstrating with clarity the identity function of the social representations unveiled. We note that in this study, information is tied to knowledge, which is sometimes uneven in terms of the objective aspects constituting the professionalism of Teacher of Basic, Technical and Technological Education (EBTT). In investigating the dimensions of the social representations of managers and teachers about being a teacher at the Federal Institute, conducting the analysis of its content and structure, as well as its objectification and anchoring processes, we unveil important aspects of the professionalism of the EBTT teacher, paving the way for new research and reflection on the demands of continuing teacher training
