A formação de professores na modalidade EaD: narrativas de um universo em expansão

Abstract

Considering the research-education, this study reveals significant moments from my professional experience as a teacher on the distance teaching degree course in pedagogy. This is research that aims to understand: what does narrative research in the area of Education reveal to us about the dilemmas of teacher training in distance learning? Based on the line of research into educational foundations and practices, and motivated by my devotion to teaching and the desire to decipher the enigmas that surround distance learning, this research aims to narrate the dilemmas of embarking on teacher training in virtual spaces and giving visibility to be overcome by the transparency of the lens of autobiography. We methodologically launched the construction of this text, using the following metaphors: telescope, expanding universe and alchemy, to rescue professional memories of an educator-trainer of future teachers. In this line of thought, the results presented go through the dilemmas, resistances and challenges of distance education, culminating in possible ways of overcoming them, towards the magic of (trans)forming the human being into a future education professional. The importance of the narrative is highlighted, between the real, the virtual and the possible, in terms of experience reports, in the context of research-education. It should be added that the Ecologist Perspective on Education expanded reflections around a virtual environment with different meanings – with an interactive space in the construction of learning, with a telescopic focus on the teacher's cultural training. It is inferred that research-education, narrated, expands its investigative value, since the ecological vision perceives human beings in places of learning that give new meaning to opportunities for training and overcoming oneself. Such process reveals that the subject-narrators, virtually subjectivized, seek and produce teaching knowledge in the construction of their professionalism.
