cursos pré-vestibulares populares e aprendizagem da docência: alguns encontros

This study focuses on the learning of teaching of seven teachers at CPV. The CPV is characterized for being directed to social and economically unfavorable population belonging to São Carlos and its surroundings. This study relies on educational literature about teachers’ formation and it indicates that their learning occurs as a continuum and they acquire new knowledge and remake their practice as result of reflexive thoughts about their own teaching. Based on the data of interviews with participants, it is possible to observe that teachers start to rethink about teaching from both the students’ demands and their own experiences. In addition, the teachers often develop outclass activities once they may be part of coordination group or be coordinator in their work teaching areas. All the work made by teachers during selection process for new students (that occurs every year) makes them more reflexives in relation to the attended population’s social and economic condition. Thus, the learning that comes from these experiences contributes to a new perception on their own teaching practice.
