(De)Valuation of teachers in Brazilian basic education

The research investigates the concept of teacher success disseminated by the Educador Nota 10 awards, discussing the implications of their perception of success for the recognition of the work performed by this occupational category. Using authors such as Dardot and Laval and Montaño, the study is based on a content analysis of the summaries published by the contest about the winning projects in ten editions, and discusses the conceptions promoted by it to reward teachers and, thus, impose its criteria for recognition. This is a qualitative, documentary study, which identifies entrepreneurism, competition, and meritocracy as concepts that define success in the awards. The dissemination of these elements by the awards contributes to the assimilation of precariousness in teaching work by promoting the perception that the teacher could individually overcome difficulties and achieve their goals, waiving their rights and having their recognition limited to individual and temporary rewards
