Memórias e narrativas de professores da educação infantil

Abstract

The present work is configured as an excerpt from a doctoral study that has as its centrality discussions about the paths of self-formation and the teaching profession in the specificity of early childhood education. In this text, starting from the problem question: In what ways are life experiences expressed in the daily practices focused on childhood?, we sought to identify the presence of life paths in the present experience of early childhood education teachers. In the interest of deepening the potentialities of the (auto)biographical method, an investigation/training was carried out with 7 (seven) teachers who work in an early childhood education center and it was decided to use the digital Biographical Project Workshops (ABPd), inspired by in the work of DeloryMomberger (2006), as devices for composing narratives and gathering information. The (auto)biographical narratives potentiated links between personal and professional processes and confirmed the subject as the main agent of his formative project. Partial analyzes of the teachers' narratives have been pointing to the importance of investing in experiences that involve the problem of personal development, the different practices of the self and the training paths of teachers.
