PROFESSIONAL LIVES OF TWO BRAZILIAN PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AND RESEARCHERS: MATCHES AND MISMATCHES WITH COLLABORATIVE PRACTICES

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore the collaborative practices and socialisation experiences of two Physical Education (PE) teachers and researchers in Brazil. This qualitative and collaborative case study had as participants two Brazilian professionals working in schools and universities and two critical friends. Critical incidents related to collaborative practices were identified through charts and photo-elicitation in four online meetings. The results were analyzed in light of the theory of teacher socialisation and revealed that: (a) collaborative practices can be considered as complex and dialogical processes that provide different experiences (positive and negative) in life and career; and (b) socialisation as a non-linear process that can be enhanced with research and collaboration. The findings contribute to broadening the understanding of collaborative practices in support of sustainable and meaningful careers.
