Description
Summary:When discussing the professional aspects of the work of women teachers, it is usual to include the vocational factor as a main element. The question of vocational education incorporated progressively in the training period progresses. Teachers themselves talk about this as something that already appears in their childhood as an explicit desire to dedicate to teaching. With the project «Peruvian Women Teacher’s» we approach the opinions on this and other issues. The process of preparation of the project in Lima initiated includes interviews with twenty-one women. Most teachers insist on their vocational precocity, especially those who working in poverty environments. We use case studies incorporating video through Arts Based Research. Art Education try to make visible the identities of the female teaching group. It is a tribute, but also a professional claim. Participants are teachers of different ages and particular situations. We have again verified that the vocational component is present in personal narratives.
