THE THREAD AND THE BEAD: THINKING ABOUT TEACHER EDUCATION FROM NARRATIVES OF THE EXPERIENCE IN YOUTH AND ADULT LITERACY

ABSTRACT:

This paper discusses a way of understanding the teacher education, which takes place in everyday crossings from experiences (LARROSA) mobilized by the exercise of teaching. Methodologically, we opted for narrative and (auto)biographical research, as this path allows us to talk to the school and from the school, instead of talking about the school. The purpose of this article is to produce reflections that contribute to the debate about this perspective of training that understands the experience as a privileged locus of teacher training and the teacher narrative as a means of reflecting on the teaching experience, which allowed us to understand how the other's view helps to form us. We bring here the narrative of a learning process of reading and writing in a literacy class of the Adult and Young Adult Education (EJA), in the city of Rio de Janeiro, involving the production of a letter, in which a student and her teacher live the experience of teaching-learning as an event (GERALDI), posing questions about the literacy theory-practice in course in everyday school. Freire (1996, 2014), Garcia and Alves (2002; 2012), Larrosa (2014) and Geraldi (2015) help in the reflection on the subject. In the experience narrated here, the dialogical relationship between a student and her teacher, throughout the classes, allowed us to realize what these dialogues revealed about the student's learning process, while it was also formative for the teacher.
