Exploring Identity-based Challenges to English Teachers’ Professional Growth
Heather Camp
Minnesota State University-Mankato
Research on pre-service teacher education indicates that identity construction is an important facet of becoming a teacher. To establish oneself as a teaching professional, a person must craft a teacher identity out of the personal and professional discourses that surround him/her. This idea is consistent with contemporary theories of identity construction, which posit that the self is discursively constructed, made and remade by the various discourses that encompass the person. Such discourses -- “pattern[s] of thinking, speaking, behaving, and interacting that [are] socially, culturally, and historically constructed and sanctioned by a specific group or groups of people” (Miller Marsh 456) -- are constantly intermingling, wrangling for ideological power and dynamically shaping one another. To construct an identity, an individual must integrate these diverse discourses, weaving them together to form a dynamic but cohesive sense of self. On one hand, this twining process has the potential to promote psychological development, leading to the attainment of “an expanded, integrated self, more diverse and richer in the possibilities for action that these multiple identities afford” (Brown 676). Yet, it also may produce identity destabilization and fragmentation, leading to uncertainty, distress and stymied psychological growth.
New teachers are confronted with the task of adopting new discourses, and of forging relationships between old and new strands of their identities. Succeeding at this process facilitates the development of a secure and satisfying professional sense-ofself: research indicates that the attainment of an integrated identity helps teachers transition into and find satisfaction within the teaching profession, teach effectively, and nurture students’ self-development. Further, it suggests that attaining a cohesive identity better prepares teachers to champion educational reform.
Yet, research also suggests that accessing this array of rewards can be difficult. As teachers seek to integrate their teacherly roles with other discourses that contribute to their sense of self, they may encounter identity conflicts that work against a sense of identity cohesiveness. Encountering such conflicts can lead to emotional turmoil and stunted professional growth, even leading some student teachers (and practicing teachers) to leave the teaching profession altogether.
Growing awareness of the importance of professional identity construction and the psychological labor it demands has led to an upsurge in scholarship on pre-service teacher identity formation. […] This scholarship has drawn attention to the complexity of identity construction for pre-service teachers and offered educators insights into how they might support these students through this important work.

Alternativa correta: E
O tema da questão é a construção da identidade profissional para professores de inglês em formação. A questão aborda como essa construção é um processo complexo e multifacetado, influenciado por diversos discursos e dinâmicas sociais.
Para resolver esta questão, é necessário compreender que a identidade profissional de um professor se desenvolve a partir da integração de diversos discursos pessoais e profissionais, e que esse processo pode ser tanto enriquecedor quanto desafiador.
Vamos analisar cada alternativa:
( F ) "Professional identity results from a specific discursive model;"
Essa afirmação é falsa porque o texto indica que a identidade profissional é construída a partir da combinação de diversos discursos, e não de um modelo discursivo específico. A identidade é algo dinâmico e em constante construção.
( T ) "Developing an identity is not a simple and effortless endeavor;"
Essa afirmação é verdadeira. O texto descreve a construção da identidade como um processo complexo que pode envolver conflitos e desafios emocionais, o que demonstra que não é uma tarefa simples ou sem esforço.
( T ) "Professional identities, including those of new English teachers, are in a constant flux."
Essa afirmação é verdadeira também. O texto menciona que as identidades são constantemente moldadas por diversos discursos, o que significa que estão em constante mudança.
Dessa forma, a sequência correta é: F, T e T, portanto, a alternativa correta é a letra E.
As alternativas incorretas são:
A - F, F and T
Incorrecta porque a primeira afirmação está correta.
B - T, T and F
Incorrecta porque a primeira afirmação está incorreta.
C - F, T and F
Incorrecta porque a terceira afirmação está correta.
D - T, F and T
Incorrecta porque a primeira e a segunda afirmações estão incorretas.

Gabarito Letra E.
Além do que é dito no texto, nós alunos dos cursos de letras/pedagogia entre outros sabemos da constante discussão sobre qual tipo de professor/educador ser e os detalhes que permeiam e moldam tudo isso.
Me utilizei da conexão dessas coisas pra chegar a conclusão que a identidade profissional não vem de um único/específico modelo discursivo, sabendo de tudo isso fica claro que não é algo tão fácil e simples desenvolver essa identidade, e por fim, tudo isso nos leva ao ponto que por se haver todo esse debate sobre isso essas identidades profissionais estão em constante fluxo.
Professional identity results from a specific discursive model. False
According to the text: "This idea is consistent with contemporary theories of identity construction, which posit that the self is discursively constructed, made and remade by the various discourses that encompass the person."
Developing an identity is not a simple and effortless endeavor. True
According to the text: "Yet, research also suggests that accessing this array of rewards can be difficult. As teachers seek to integrate their teacherly roles with other discourses that contribute to their sense of self, they may encounter identity conflicts that work against a sense of identity cohesiveness."
Professional identities, including those of new English teachers, are in a constant flux. True
Also in the text: "Such discourses -- “pattern[s] of thinking, speaking, behaving, and interacting that [are] socially, culturally, and historically constructed and sanctioned by a specific group or groups of people” (Miller Marsh 456) -- are constantly intermingling, wrangling for ideological power and dynamically shaping one another. To construct an identity, an individual must integrate these diverse discourses, weaving them together to form a dynamic but cohesive sense of self".
