Abstract

This article presents the 45-year career of a professor of chemistry in higher education, whose history is intertwined with the consolidation of initial teacher training in Brazil. Based on a narrative interview, understood as a space for reconstructing meanings about the experience, we sought to highlight how the professor understands and reframes her professional journey. Discourse Analysis was used to interpret the data, which made it possible to identify subject positions, identity markers, and meanings mobilized when narrating herself as a teacher. The results reveal a career marked by a commitment to teaching, the training of teacher candidates, and the construction of institutional spaces focused on public education. They also show that teacher identity is continuously produced in the intertwining of personal history, training practices, and institutional contexts. The study contributes to reflecting on the role of teacher trainers in the constitution of teaching professionalism in higher education.
