Professores e formadores investigam a sua própria pratica: o papel da colaboração
(2003) PONTE, João Pedro da; SERRAZINA, Lurdes
This paper analyses the journey undertook by a group of teachers, mathematics educators, and teacher educators that for about two years carried out a collaborative work. The group, at first, regarded itself as a study group, focused in the theme of “teacher as researcher”, gaving increasing attention to the objects to investigate – professional practices. In a second phase, the group decided to elaborate a collective book about this topic. The paper pays special attention to what participants learned in this process, the difficulties that they felt, and the role that collaborative work played. It concludes that the dynamics of a group such as this evolves along the time, as well as its objectives and working methods. It also indicates that it is important a collective leadership that integrates the contributions of all members and carefully prepares the fundamental decisions regarding the life of the group. It reports that a trusting environment and good personal interrelations need to be constructed and constantly revitalized through communication, dialogue, mutual comprehension and care. Finally, it stresses that taking advantage the individual capacities in favour of group work and of the group potential to the development of their members constitutes a decisive element in a joint collaborative work.
