POLITICAL, CONTEXTUAL AND KNOWLEDGE DIMENSIONS OF TEACHER EDUCATION: A PERSPECTIVE IN THE LIGHT OF BAKHTINIAN THOUGHT

ABSTRACT:

Based on Bakhtinian thought, we developed dimensions of a perspective of counter-hegemonic training of Science teachers. This training perspective, which we call “dialogical-responsible teacher education,” consists of seven dimensions - practical, ethics, aesthetics, investigative, political, contextual, and knowledge. The last three will be developed in this paper. The development of these dimensions was built up from the collating of Bakhtinian Circle texts with texts from the literature on teacher education, tensions, and contrasts, showing insufficiencies and proposing advances concerning the hegemonic training model guided by technical rationality. In this process, formative dimensions emerged that distanced from a prescriptive profile, are constituted as principles that allow rethinking, transforming, giving directions, and structuring formations that break with the hegemonic perspective. We argue that our dimensions make it possible to resignify teacher education regarding the broad understanding of reality, criticality, teaching autonomy, organicity of training processes, and dialogicity in constructing knowledge.
