Experiências temporais constitutivas do ser professora: uma leitura bergsoniana

Abstract

Which temporal experiences are constitutive of a teacher being? This was the question that sparked this research that was permeated by encounters, subjects, teachers, spirit, matter, time, experiences. Words they say and say itself throughout the writing of this paper which aims to identify which experiences each teacher considers to be constitutive of their way of being in the world, and seek to approach, through the accounts of these experiments, the duration of each teacher. In the presentation of the trajectory I could see clearly the encounters that have brought me so far: meeting with teaching, meeting with the teaching time, meeting with the French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941). Of the Bergson's meeting, the need for further study about the time arose, now no longer seen as the fruit of clocks and calendars, but as duration; about the human being now it seen as a being which constitutes itself in a complex relationship between body and spirit, relationship constantly becoming; about teaching, since changing the conception of time and human, inevitably raises questions about educational practice. The quest for rapprochement with the field of education led me to the literature review, which enabled me to meet many researchers and their research. The methodological choice was also made in a meeting between narrative investigations (CONELLY e CLANDININ, 2008) and the intuitive process (BERGSON, 1934/2006) in which I sought a rapprochement between the converging points of one and another proposal. And finally, the meeting with the teachers who participated in this research: Creuza, Vivian, Elosaine, Tatiane, Aline, Fabiana. To them, the proposal to tell what constituted themselves as teachers. What experiences they considered significant in this constitution? The construction of portfolios happened as a form of registration; these, the chronicles, as an exercise intuitive. Theoretical studies led by a friendly approach, a meeting with the duration of each of these teachers, and in these, another way of thinking in relation to teacher formation. Formation based on respect for the duration of being, allowing it to go farther and farther away, knowing that there is always something more to know. Thus, we also think about continuing teacher formation. That must exist, but a formation that do so allow him enter to the school movement duration, the class in which works, of each student to which it relates and the society where he lives. We would have no more lightning strokes, show classes or surreal lectures ... Instead, we would have study, discussion, reflection, experimentation, a way of living school and teaching in their own constitution, knowing and feeling us as an integral part of that movement, that life which pulsates, that work, as life itself being lived, is done in a creativity evolution.
