"MY NAME IS...": IDENTIFYING TRAINING CONTEXTS AND STORIES IN THE NAMES OF RURAL TEACHERS.

This article was developed based on narratives and the life story method, and refers to research carried out in 2009 and 2012, developed within the scope of the Postgraduate Program in Education and Contemporary Studies at the State University of Bahia and the Postgraduate Program in Education, at the Federal University of São Carlos, both researches carried out with rural teachers, in Bahia. The collaborators' narratives allowed the development of this work presented here, whose objective is to analyze what is revealed, regarding contexts and life-education stories, through the names chosen (pseudonyms) by rural teachers, expressed in the (auto)biographical narratives. In the research, twelve teachers were identified by the names they chose and this choice refers to some place or role in the aspect of life and/or training. As highlighted in the literature, everything that is narrated is important and these choices are linked to family, context, childhood memories, tastes, way of being and other issues. Therefore, it is worth highlighting the contribution of this work, as narratives express aspects of identity and the name is part of this. These narrated and contextualized names, and their meanings and meanings, led to a discussion about the identity and training of these rural teachers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
