Abstract

Computer teacher training integrates interdisciplinary knowledge from different social and computing areas, with career entry and teaching professional development being an open space for research in the academic and professional context of teaching and school work. The proposal to delimit the object of knowledge Computer Teacher Training as area of ​​knowledge is justified because this object is not classified in the areas or subareas of the Table of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), which makes difficult the public promotion and the interest in research in this area. Furthermore, it is necessary to expand the concept of Computer teacher training beyond a utilitarian vision of skills and knowledge essentially built on the application of computational methods in a school context to overcome dichotomies between historically constructed conceptions of specific and pedagogical areas; theoretical and practical training; of curricula and subjects; teaching, research and extension; the local and global context; of culture and society; diversity and inclusion; economy and sustainability; the evaluation of educational systems and policies in a disruptive society undergoing permanent transformation. An epistemic approach to the area of Computer ​​Teacher Training should organize the knowledge bases of national educational research in computer teacher training for all LDB educational modalities. It is expected to strengthen research to build scientific evidence in the area of ​​Computing Education and in the area of ​​Computer Teacher Training in the context of basic and higher education in the country.
