Resumen

Objetivo: este estudio analiza las experiencias de adaptación profesional de docentes migrantes a la cultura y sistema escolar chileno. Metodología: el presente estudio se aborda desde un enfoque fenomenológico y recurre a entrevistas semiestructuradas; así como, a un grupo focal con siete profe-sores y profesoras formados en el extranjero. Los datos fueron analizados mediante un enfoque temático inductivo, lo que permitió identificar patrones comunes y diferencias en sus trayectorias profesionales. Resultados: los hallazgos evidencian que la adaptación no es lineal ni uniforme, sino que está atravesada por procesos de negociación identitaria y reconstrucción profesional moldeados por el reconocimiento, la comprensión del currículum nacional y las relaciones con actores escolares. Asi-mismo, se observa que las estructuras institucionales, la ausencia de apoyos formales y la presión de políticas de rendición de cuentas se configuran como un escenario de adaptación individualizada y emocionalmente exigente. Conclusiones: la adaptación del profesorado migrante requiere ser comprendida como un fenómeno relacional, condicionado por la cultura escolar y las políticas educativas. Este panorama invita a fortalecer estrategias de acompañamiento y reconocimiento profesional para propiciar una transición y reintegración más enriquecedora en el sistema educativo.
