Based on the contributions of Lovisolo (1995), using the Lévi-Strauss bricoleur to think the docent praxis, this article tries to resignify the contributions of the docent formation branch denominated Reflexive Researcher Professor (PPR). Its main authors, specially Stenhouse, are analyzed in a perspective that interpretation dominates and emphasizes autonomy, creativeness, art, putting in opposition with the position delineated by Lovisolo based on understandings of Lévi-Straus about primitive and scientific thinking forms. It is questioned the education functioning that the romantic formation field of PPR seems to operate refusing both this kind of question as its possible answers.
