O Perfil do Professor de Artes Visuais em Portugal (1860-actualidade): ilações para o futuro

This article is the result, on the one hand, of the awareness that overtook me concerning the evolution of the Visual Arts teacher profile throughout the Portuguese history of teaching in this field (1860-present day), while conducting my masters degree; and, on the other hand, of several reports of unease by several investigators of the field on an international level, which I came across in the last year, as part of my doctorate – New Paradigms, new practices? The Visual Arts Teacher Education in contemporary times: a comparative study. Thus, in the first place, the main profiles of the Visual Arts teacher are presented, setting up a link between their artistic and pedagogical training and the educational practices they developed; and, in second place, the current issues relative to the international Visual Arts Teacher Education are exposed. These issues are finally translated into the Portuguese context and, in a larger scale, into the IberoAmerican context.Novos paradigmas, novas práticas? A Formação de Professores de Artes Visuais na Contemporaneidade: estudo comparativo. Assim, num primeiro momento, são apresentados os principais perfis de professor de Artes Visuais, estabelecendo-se uma relação entre a sua formação artística e pedagógica e as práticas educativas desenvolvidas; e, num segundo momento, são expostas as actuais preocupações relativas à Formação de Professores de Artes a nível internacional. Estas preocupações são finalmente transpostas para o panorama português e, numa escala mais alargada, para o panorama ibero-americano
