This study analyzes the conceptions of a group of Colombian teachers about the teaching profession. The methodological path followed for the production and collection of data was characterized by a qualitative approach, having as a technique the interactive-provocational conversation, created and used by Nunes (2011). Narratives were collected from six female teachers working at an Institute of Primary Education in the city of Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia. The data analysis made it possible to highlight three categories: "meanings of being a teacher", "the professional choice" and "the vocation for exercising the teaching profession". From the reflections proposed in the study, it became clear the need to (re) think about teaching professionalization beyond the vision of the teacher as a priest or provided with a gift for teaching. The emphasis is on the importance of the uninterrupted process of formation that contributes significantly to the construction of professional and personal identity, as well as to the exercise of professionals committed to a quality Education. Keywords: Teaching profession; Professional exercise; Vocation; Professionalization.
