PALENCIA VILLA, Mercedes. Transformaciones del modelo cultural de las educadoras de preescolar. RMIE [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.42, pp.787-811. ISSN 1405-6666.

In this article I analyze two generations of female teachers in order to compare the way professional identity has transformed over time. The narration revolves around the metaphor called the mother-gardener, the basis of a model closely related to the origin of the female teaching profession-which is structured around the woman-mother-teacher relation. According to this logic, the discursive ruptures of the relation allow us to discover the contradictions and resistance to a stereotyped model of the female teaching profession. New generations face a complex identity since the original cultural model has lost its coherence over time. The construction of identity is no longer a social responsibility, but has become an individual process.

Palavras-chave : female teachers; professional identity; cultural factors; analysis of discourse; Mexico.
