Biographical patches of a beginning teacher

Abstract

This article presents a narrative of a beginning teacher based on reconstruction and resignification of life and training. The study brings teacher's collaboration at the beginning of teaching when she narrates experiences of biographical textures in her formative path that shows professional construction. It comprises the experience by Josso (2010) and the self that emerges through the exercise of critical reflexivity, which enables us to untie threads from the past and tangle future ties of human existence. Through methodological device of narratives, we can rescue the formative processes that helped us in the personal construction and composition of the teaching profession. Authors such as Freire (1991, 1996, 2021), Josso (2006, 2010) and Passeggi (2016) give theoretical support to this work. The narratives constitute an affective relationship with training, making possible to rethink trajectory of life and training, reflection of practices and teaching activities in a movement of transformation. The main contributions of the study were the understanding of training processes and the appearance of the being-subject in its various records, enhancing self-training processes and producing implications that strengthened development, as well as revealing a fundamental aspect for the progress of the teaching profession, reflection criticism of pedagogical practice.
