ABSTRACT
Researchers have emphasized the similarities and differences between formal and non formal education. These two concepts are different, requiring specific, initial and continued, teacher training for the ones who wish to follow the two concepts. Such training is possible for undergraduates who take activities, throughout the course, in museums and non formal education areas. Our goal in this article, which is part of a doctoral thesis, is to understand the benefits and obstacles created in the practice of teachers who work in these two training areas. Analysing the daily practice of a teacher trained in both formal and non formal education, a hybrid concept was identified, that we believe belongs to a particular discursive genre, different from both formal and non formal ways. Therefore, a theoretical framework based on the ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin, which allows us to think the class as a discourse genre, was outlined.
