Educação infantil e a formação inicial de professores: com a palavra, a argumentação

Abstract

The present research was developed within the Research Line Language, Knowledge and Teachers Training from the Post graduation Program in Education of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. Its focus is the study about the role of argument in the initial teachers training in the Pedagogy course at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. Based on the discipline of Theoretical-Methodological Foundations in the Early Childhood Education I, the purpose is to investigate how the argument happens between student-teacher-student and if this movement allows the future teacher has a critical training. Such research is based on the contributions of authors of socio-historicalcultural theory: Bakhtin (1995) and Vygotsky (2008). Both assist us in understanding the dialogues which are built between student-teacher-student. We build and internalize our own speech in the relationship with the other, through the dialogues which are settled in daily lessons. Focusing on the socio-cultural-historical perspective and grounded on the Critical Collaborative Research (MAGALHÃES, 2004), this research lay emphasis on the processing by the action, due to exchanges during the dialogues between the participants. Such perspective seeks to establish, by means of the critical reflection, a modification of reality, in which theory and practice go together. The analysis seeks to answer if this argumentative movement provides a critical-reflexive training of future teacher. The present research was carried out from monitoring the Theoretical-Methodological Foundations in the Early Childhood Education I classes, during the second semester of 2014, in the second period of the Pedagogy course of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, by a reflexive session with the students and a dialogical interview with the professor of the discipline. The discussion of the data is guided in argumentative categories, based on Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005), Liberali (2008, 2009) and Schapper (2010), with the survey of the types of arguments, argumentative and deictics operators. The results from the movement of analysis revealed that the subjects involved in the research were able to face up to their knowledge, the reflections built inside the collective are intrinsic to the process of teachers training and, in the collaborative process, those involved have the opportunity to revisit their old.
