Pathologization, Teachers, ShynessAbstract
This study aimed to characterize teachers' conceptions about shy students, considering their perceptions about classroom learning. The qualitative, exploratory approach was used. It was observed that the teachers' conception of shy students acts as a limiting factor for school learning. It was also verified that the characterizations attributed to these students presented a significant presence of the pathologization discourse, raising the shyness to the condition of psychological disorder. In short, the tendency to reduce human singularities to medical designations prevailed.
