As narrativas autobiográficas constituem um instrumento de investigação da prática educativa e revelam-se um importante dispositivo de análise sobre a vida e a profissão do docente.
Este estudo autobiográfico tem por objetivo investigar como construí a minha profissionalidade. Nele narro alguns momentos do meu percurso profissional, distribuídos ao longo de fases distintas da carreira, que considero terem sido relevantes para a minha aprendizagem como professora e analiso a forma como contribuíram para o meu desenvolvimento profissional.
Reflito sobre a importância da cultura de escola na promoção / inibição do trabalho colaborativo e de que forma este induz uma atitude analítico reflexiva. Avalio o impacto do trabalho colaborativo no desenvolvimento profissional do professor e como este se reflete na melhoria das aprendizagens dos alunos.
Por último, perspetivo o trabalho colaborativo e a colegialidade como modelo de supervisão pedagógica inscrita em valores democráticos, conducentes ao desenvolvimento profissional.
Autobiographical narratives are an important strand of research into educational practice as they offer the possibility of exploring and analyzing teachers’ professional life and work. The goal of this study is to inquire how I developed my professional “self” as an educator. It is my purpose to explore how some experiences and episodes, selected from different phases of my life as a teacher, best contributed to my professional growth. I analyze the importance of school culture in promoting / inhibiting collaborative working environments and how collaborative practice helped me develop and improve the ability to reflect on and adapt or modify my own way of teaching. I also try to demonstrate the relationship between collaborative work, teachers’ professional development and the enhancement of student learning. Finally I anticipate a model of pedagogical supervision based on collegiality and democratic values that contribute to foster teachers’ professional growth.
