The purpose of this article is to analyze the situation of delegitimization of the teaching role. Its technical character is postulated to the detriment of its pedagogical role in the current institutional reality. As support, background information is provided on the changes experienced by Chilean society and their impact on the national education system. Cultural changes at a deep level in which new technologies penetrate school spaces, transforming daily life in them and generating heterogeneous pedagogical and relational demands. It also describes the tensions and challenges that imply for a professional action, being constrained by a technological rationality that values and promotes efficiency, efficacy and productivity in schooling. The teacher, part of the life-world, faces complex processes of individuation in which he/she must take personal responsibility for the performance of his/her role. Faced with a controlling and coercive system, which has limited their autonomy, their participation in pedagogical decisions, a strong tension is created with the life-world, of the intersubjectivity shared in the school. Consequently, the professional experiences a strong weakening of his professional role.
