RESUMO

To discuss about the teachers links with the Magistery and explain how these links carry on and last is one of the tasks that the Moral Psychology should incorporate in its investigation, considering the urgency of thinking about the moral dimension in the teachers subjectivity and believing the human virtues are arrangements that many aspects: affective, cognitive, social, cultural, historical and others. Besides, in the Brazilian contemporary social teaching scenery, we consider how is important to know what the teachers think, which links they establish with their profession, their wishes, their motivations, their principles and worths. These inquietudes lead us to investigate which representations the teachers have about themselves in the fundamental teaching. The representations are images the people think about themselves and that they are formed as a whole of worths. For this, we made an investigation with sixty teachers of the Fundamental Teaching from the fifth to the eighth groups in different Brazilian cities with ages between twenty-one and sixty years old. We also asked if and how the virtue of love was in these representations about oneself. The investigation looked for identifying the people the teachers admire and their admirable marks. The results that our investigation gave us showed this: the people consider themselves as enthusiastic teachers, having positive attitudes considering the Education, teaching the student and his apprenticeships and they seemed curious and interested about knowledge. The informations we received also showed us the following questions: the human structure of the pupils, their development and apprenticeship appeared as an educative aim; the love, the passion, the gladness are primordial for teaching. Moral values as: respect, responsibility, solidarity, companionship were equally marked by the teachers and they consider very important to be encouraged among the pupils. Finally, we think that our hypothesis that the teachers who have the Virtue of Love as an important dimension in their representations about themselves is correct. They feel satisfied and realized personal and professionally.
