Temporal Aspects in Class: cadence, pace and opportune moment

Abstract:

This article presents a reflection about the temporal aspects of daily life in the classroom. The specificity of the topic is related to how these temporal elements can be useful for understanding the movements in the class practice in literacy classes. The aim is to analyze the constituting temporal elements in class with an emphasis on cadence, pace and opportune moment. In the analysis, we adopt some theoretical precepts of Certeau and the dimensions of time drawn up by Heller to approach the topic. The results indicate that the reflections on temporal aspects in the daily life of the classroom are fundamental in the class process and powerful in an analytical perspective to understand mediation.
