SUMMARY:

This research presents a study regarding academic writing, composed as a constitutive part of the process of teacher training. The object of investigation is the thesis writing of the Professional Master's Degree in Letters Program (ProfLetras), focusing on how the subject incorporates theories and practices into the research and intervention activities. The following question is posed: how can writing reveal data about the teacher and his formative process? It is based on the hypothesis that when developing a research and proposing an intervention within the school reality, it is necessary for the subject to consider the data found in the universe investigated, appropriate of theories, and mobilize these theories in order to substantiate the practice. Writing enables these actions to be executed. In order for us to answer the research question, we must answer three other questions first, whatever they are: Regarding the challenge of proposing an intervention in the school reality, when writing a Master's thesis at ProfLetras, how can the subject articulate the reality observed, the theory, and the teaching method used to support the intervention process? How does the subject, faced with the strong necessity to develop an intervention in the school reality, define the teaching object used in the intervention? How is the intervention constituted in ProfLetras’ theses (PT)? The corpus used in this research consists of thirty PTs produced in the different regions of Brazil. The analysis aims to investigate the constitution of the teacher-subject with a Master’s degree in Letters in their training process throughout the ProfLetras program. The specific objectives of this study are: to discuss how the subject articulates the constituent parts of a thesis when proposing an intervention in the school environment; to indicate, based on the analysis of PT writing, the discursive processes present in the constitution of the object of teaching Portuguese; to analyze the discursive processes that constitute the discourse of the intervention in the ProfLetras’ theses. The corpus analysis attempts to surmise discourse from material textuality. The postulates of Pêcheux for reading Discourse Analysis (2009, 2014, 2015) were used as theoretical background, as well as the method of Relational Analysis proposed by Apple (1982). The analysis showed that the PTs are based on different theories, but present interventions with similar structures, in which there is a consensus regarding the object and method of teaching-learning; the students’ difficulties in reading and writing that support the development of interventions do not originate from a diagnosis of the school reality, but from a discourse prior to the development process, marking the discursive event in writing displacements; the intervention discourse indicates the teacher as a non-agent or as a minor subject in the teaching of Portuguese, indicating the need to intervene in teaching practice; the writing of the PTs does not present marks of theoretical appropriation; therefore, the theory is confirmed, maintaining its use restricted to a protocol of academic writing, which prevents its mobilization for teaching practice. The responsible-subject presents him/herself, in the writing of PTs, as a subject divided between the positions of professor and researcher. Such division is dichotomous, which prevents the constitution of a researcher-professor subject.
