Abstract
In this theoretical essay, we identify the specificities of the second
career teachers’ entry process into schools by proposing a reflection and a
conceptualization that define it as a process of learning through and at work,
or more specifically as a work socialization process. In this sense, this paper
contributes to the reflections on the connection between work, training
and professionalization by proposing a case study in which training and
professionalization processes are fundamentally situated in the work activity
itself. Learning, training and professionalization therefore occur “on the job”,
in the same temporality, which in this case is the first steps of second career
teachers in their new work environment.
