A HTPC como espaço de formação: Uma possibilidade

Abstract

Some researches about pedagogical coordinator s work as a mediator in continuing teachers education process point to the necessity of investing efforts in order to this formation occurs inside the school (Salvador, 2000, Almeida, 2004, Franco, 2000, Garrido, 2000, Menezes, 2000, Viana, 2001), showing the value of the coordinator s role for that. In this context, the HTPC seems to be an ideal space to this continuous formation activity. Supported by a socio-cultural-historical framework, based on Vygostky (1934/1987; 1979; 1984/2003), Leontiev (1977/1978), Engeström, (1999, 2001) and by a Critical Pedagogy as presented by Paulo Freire (1970), MacLaren (1977), Kincheloe (1977) e Fullan (1996/2000), who point out the necessity of conducting researches in a school context that makes possible the commitment for all participants, this research aimed to using the HTPC as a space to in-service formation by reorganizing the context to promote the construction of new meanings and new actions. This study, organized on a critical collaborative research perspective (Magalhães, 1994), is inserted into the Critical Applied Linguistic field, which aimed to understand how the relationship between the participants of HTPC happens, and brings a critical reflection by contradictions up to transform this relationship and move the group to search for a better utilization of this space. The data was collected in a public school in the outskirts of São Paulo and it was analyzed through the thematic contents that surface from HTPCs based on Bronckart (1997/1999), and by the analyzes of turn-taking devices and types of questions as discussed by Kerbrat-Orecchioni (1996). The results shows that by the reorganization of the context it s possible to give a resignificance of teachers sense about HTPC, making it into a space of reflection and learning that conducts to developmen
