Despite much anthropological research on education in India, the importance of educational anthropology is not properly acknowledged. This article argues for fuller recognition of educational anthropology as a helpful tool to generate well-informed grassroots research throughout India. It connects this argument to concerns that education among tribal and other marginal communities reflects problems over acceptance of diversity. Educational anthropology could help to support sustainable, people-centric educational policies, curriculum construction, and above all better-focused teacher training. Its interventions can provide cohesive glue for nurturing responsible citizenship for all Indians and would facilitate better integration of peripheral tribal communities and other minorities as responsible citizens of a huge nation that claims to be based on respect for composite culture and unity in diversity.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar as concepções de trabalho docente e formação de professores nos documentos oficiais do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência – PIBID, entre o segundo governo Lula (2007-2010) e os governos Dilma (2011-2016). Utilizamos como estratégia teórico-metodológica o enfoque da dialética materialista histórica e a abordagem qualitativa hermenêutica-dialética. Através da análise de conteúdo concluímos que as concepções de trabalho docente e formação de professores expressas nos relatórios do PIBID são orientadas pelas teorias “do profissionalismo”, “produtivista” e “da responsabilização” e pelas pedagogias “do professor reflexivo”, “das competências” e “do aprender a aprender”. AbstractThe objective of this article is to analyze the conceptions of teacher work and teacher training in the official documents of the Institutional Program of Initiatives for Teaching - PIBID, between the second Lula government (2007-2010) and the Dilma governments (2011-2016) . We use as theoretical methodological strategy the approach of the historical materialist dialectic and the qualitative hermeneutic-dialectic approach. Through content analysis, we conclude that the conceptions of teacher work and teacher education expressed in the PIBID reports are guided by the theories of “professionalism”, “productivist”, “accountability” and pedagogies “reflective teacher” and “learning to learn”. KeywordsIntroduction to Teaching - PIBID; Conceptions of Teaching Work and Teacher Training; Evaluation of Educational Policies.

This article focuses on the dynamic relationships between the growing importance of lifelong learning (LLL) and consequent devaluation of adult education in national level educational policies, plans and programmes in India. It argues that by adapting the new paradigm of LLL, which is largely driven by marketcentric neoliberal principles, Indian adult education has lost its core and traditional learning ecology as there is a gradual submission to the pursuit of global economic competitiveness. It identifies three main reasons for the submission: (1) the metamorphosis from welfare to market principles in reforming education; (2) blind acceptance and misunderstanding of LLL as an educational and not a political discourse; (3) fragmented reforms in revamping adult education in India in the last decades.

India is the second-largest tribal population in the world. However, after the seven decades of independence, the tribal groups are disadvantaged and socially backward from the cycle of growth in many areas such as health, education, employment, and empowerment, and more. Among these, for tribal society, education is an essential requirement. The state and central governments have initiated several programs to educate tribal groups. Many of these programs have achieved only 10 percent of the targets. The vast numbers of tribal peoples are missing their education at various levels. They lag in education due to the high illiteracy rates among the tribal population relative to Scheduled Castes (S.C.s). Hence, the time has come to consider tribal education and inclusive growth seriously. In this context, the comprehensive literature review seeks to provide a contemporary overview of India's current status and challenging issues of tribal education. The paper is purely based on second-hand information from various research studies conducted in India and collected from different government sources. The outcomes are more helpful in implementing schemes that can improve tribal literacy and inclusive growth perspectives.

From documents elaborated by the federal government, we highlight the objects of PIBID at the same time that we question the relevance of this program as an answer to the demands of our current society. We add to this discussion the dialogue about the work developed by PIBID in Geography (IESA/UFG) through an analysis of its acitivities. Considering the Brazilian scenario, we evaluate this program, highlighting its possibilities about its continuity or rupture trhough a debate started with the promulgation/revocation of the Ordinance nº46/2016, which ruled the reorganization of PIBID. The debate about the instabilities around this program is inserted in a context of political vulnerability in Brazil, which directly affects the education which, in turn envolves, amongst others, teacher training in high level, and teaching performance, in basic education.Keywords: Educational Policies.

We analyze, in particular, the implicationsof the Institutional Program of Teaching Initiation Scholarship (Pibid) for teacher training. To do this, we performeda literature review and analysis of laws such as the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil; LDB (BrazilianEducation Basic Tenets Law) 9.394/1996; Law 10.172/2001; Education Development Plan (PDE)/2007; Decree-law6.094/2007; Articulated Actions Plan/2007 and Pibid, as well as the theoretical bases of Freitas (2002); Imbernón(2004); Saviani (2008, 2009, 2010) e Sheibe (2002). It was found that the laws regulating the training of teachers inBrazil express processes of change and discontinuity, the Pibid is an public policy understood as a way of teacherappreciation and initiative for an education inicial and continuing; however, critical analysis is essential to the qualityof actions, mainly the educational actions. Therefore, it is important to assess carefully the Pibid as a whole and itsarticulation with the enhancement of the educational professionals, and propose new directions for basic education.Keywords: Pibid.

An Outstanding feature of the present educational situation in the United States is the almost exclusive control of educational policies and programs in the lower schools by what I may call the "educational generalists." These comprise the professors of education in our universities, colleges, and teacher-training institutions, together with administrators, supervisors, and research-workers in the publicschool service. The latter groups, in ever increasing numbers, represen in their attitude toward educational problems the traditions and ideals of the professors of education who are increasingly responsible for their training; hence the professor of education, in the last analysis, is the controlling agent. With the growth of his influence, the subject- matter specialists - the scholars in the differentiated fields of knowledge-have a constantly diminishing influence in determining where our educational system will go and how it will get there.

The research analyzes the graduate profiles of pedagogical careers belonging to the universities of the Valparaíso region, Chile. For this purpose, a metrically consistent instrument has been proposed and created, according to the main Education Policies of the country that is called as an integral profile, which includes aspects with which Chilean teachers are evaluated, plus indicators of inclusion and citizen education. These Policies are not always measured, that’s why universities give such importance to these three educational policies. For these reasons, the objective of this article is to analyze, based on quantitative techniques, the relation of similarity between graduation profiles and educational policies, contributing to empower the descended aspects and to visualize the importance that the universities grant to train students with an integral profile. The results of this research invite to promote the Educational Policies related to the exit profiles of the pedagogical careers, since having integral profiles contributes to form a model of teacher training for the country, especially in those with emerging economies, such as those of Latin America.

The article reports a study that aimed to analyze the state of the art of the research produced in Mozambique on initial teacher education (ITE) in its relationship with education policies. A mapping of studies on “initial teacher education in Mozambique” was carried out, through scientific articles and doctoral theses written by Mozambicans in the period between 2012 and 2017, and 20 articles were identified. However, seven articles were excluded because they had not been published in journals or periodicals. Regarding the theses, four were identified. For the identification of articles and theses, the keywords initial training/education, teachers, and Mozambiquewere used. The findings suggest diverse approaches to ITE, with an emphasis on criticizing the diversity of teacher training models, issues of school inclusion and inclusive education. In particular, the intentions of the discourses conveyed in educational policies were not reciprocated in Initial Training Education curricula and in the professionalization of teacher training.
