Answering the first question made by the teacher Luciana about the meeting of “The world of life to the world of theory”, I think that this approximation of the University to the Public School
is very important and necessary for teachers. We can say “teachers” referring to all the participants of the project (both our project and that described by the text), because from the TSCH (THEORY SOCIAL-CULTURAL-HISTORICAL) each person involved is a teacher in a different period of the process of formation, which isn’t a definitive process as mentioned in
the text. For me, this approximation is an attempt to have teachers more prepared for the reality of schools. Teachers that did not reproduce in their speech problems of the public school that are common sense, or finish their course thinking that in the school they are going to apply what they had learned at the University. But a teacher that is learning in a explicit and implicit way , walking through the context of public school and university, relating the knowledge of the two contexts to try to create with the students a good environment for learning.
Well, to reach this approximation, I think that is necessary to the participants be willing to revise stereotypes, for example, the university as the only responsible by the knowledge and models and the schools and their teachers as receptive of what is produced there.
The second topic presented by the teacher Luciana is the three ways that the authors refer that were used by them to reach their objectives. They are: 1) Exchanging the roles; 2) Letting themselves be transformed by each-other and with another person; 3) Working collaboratively, that means "creating work with each-other", producing locally meaningful knowledge.
I understand that the first refers to revise the roles of the participants and the hierarchy between them. All of them are considered as teachers in different stages of the process of formation and mainly each one is a learner.
The second refers to be open- minded to the other experiences and points of view, where the person can be transformed by what the others say and then reflecting about it considering the own experiences, or without this process of reflection, on a unconscious way.
Third, the collaborative work is very interesting and for me is the essence of projects like this and what makes the approximation of "the world of life to the world of theory have sense". People of the two environments are collectively engaged in the learning process of both others and themselves,assuming responsibilities and constructing their way from the practice, considering what is specifically significant for them.
Finally, I would like to say that is very good and it is unique participate of this project. And I agree with the teacher Luciana when she says that she is learning in each moment that we are together…It is really a “dialectical process of learning!”
Kissses,
