Investigación-formación-acción: descubriendo la experiencia pedagógica del Ser docente.

Abstract

This article is the result of the “Teachers Dialogues, experience meetings from the pedagogical perspective” research, in which we analyze the stigma surrounding the role of being a child educator, as well as the weakening of their pedagogical training. From the methodological perspective of Research-Training-Action, dialogical encounters with active teachers take place to implement systematization processes of their experiences. Some of the major findings refer to the positioning of pedagogy as the essence of the experience of being a teacher, the role of narratives in the problematization of teaching practices, and how research and pedagogic innovation constitute routes of intellectual emancipation. The findings highlight the epistemological and conceptual elaborations achieved by the students to identify the places of enunciation of the pedagogical experiences in their different ways of textual documentation; the horizontal and collective reflexivity as a support of the pedagogical knowledge generated through the narratives of educational action when interacting as a “mirror pair”; and the approach to the understanding of notions in the teaching profession such as experience, knowledge and pedagogical practice. As a whole, these findings allow them to approach the debates inherent in their profession, and to critically redefine their ethical-political, social and cultural commitment as educators of the new generations, taking into account the realities of the country at the present time.
