RESUMO

A reflexividade que ocorre durante os processos de aprendizagem em comunidades de prática constitui o foco deste artigo. Seu objetivo é descrever o papel que a refl exividade desempenha em ambientes marcados por interações sociais e pelo intercâmbio de experiências conectadas a uma prática. No plano teórico, adota-se a abordagem socioprática da aprendizagem organizacional. No plano metodológico, realiza-se um estudo de quatro casos de organizações de ensino superior com base em entrevistas semiestruturadas e observações sistemáticas. Os resultados permitem desenvolver o conceito de colaboração reflexiva, discutindo sua importância na promoção de idéias inovadoras sobre uma prática, intensifi can-do, conseqüentemente, a aprendizagem e a geração de novos conhecimentos.

Palavras-chave: Comunidades de prática, aprendizagem organizacional, ação reflexiva, colaboração reflexiva, organização de ensino superior privada.

ABSTRACT

The reflexivity which occurs during learning processes within communities of practice constitutes the focus of this article. More spe cifically, the goal is to describe reflexivity's role in environments embedded in social relations connected to a practice. At the theoretical level, a socio-practical perspective of organizational learning is adopted. At the methodological level, a study of four cases was carried out in higher education organizations. The empirical study is based upon semi-structured interviews and systematic observation. The results allow us to de velop the concept of reflective collaboration, discussing its importance in promoting innovative ideas about a practice, intensifying, consequently, learning and the generation of new knowledge.

Keywords: Communities of practices, organizational learning, reflective-in-action, reflective collaboration, private higher education organization.
