ANALYSIS OF THE SCIENCE TEACHER'S REFLECTIONS ABOUT HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE STUDENTS AND IMPLICATIONS ON THE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE

In this work, we focus on the students dimension reflections of a Science teacher. For the data collection, a partnership between the researcher and the teacher was established, along with the school activity hours. We have used the triphasic autoscopy as a strategy for the educa tional development, which allowed the teacher to reflect on the pre-active and post-active phases, i.e., after and before she taught the classes (inter active phase). We presented the post-active data analyzed under the light of the theoretical reference on the reflexive practice concept, according to Schön (1997, 2000). The teacher's reflections showed that she tried to evaluate the educational practice by means of inquiring, proposition of solutions and action restructuring, which led her overcome the prejudices she had against the students thus improving her teaching practices.
