Seguindo os fios de Ariadne: autorreflexão sobre a formação profissional docente

Abstract

Through the present article, I seek to retrace my own steps and to rescue the memories which constituted me as teacher and still do. The auto reflection on the teaching practice emerges as a fundamental process during my professional training, figuring as the conducting and organizing wire of what was experienced. I emphasize here my training on the Teaching Residency program, as a History resident teacher, and the interdisciplinary projects that came along with the construction of collaborative and formative communities of work (NÓVOA, 2017). We base ourselves on Vasconcelos’s (2000) perspective of plural professional teaching identities, conjugated with the rescuing of affective memories and multiple networks of training. From the entanglement of the distinct threads that each teacher brings with them, I ponder on the weaving process of professional teaching training, which was predominantly female and oriented to the construction of a third genre of knowledge, that embraces the technic-scientific skills and also the daily teaching skills, but translate itself on the political consciousness of the professional dimension that involves “being a teacher”.
