Abstract

This project aims to analyze and understand the formative processes triggered in a group of students from the Pedagogy Course who participates in an extension project, started in March 2010, and coordinated by me. The extension activities search to link the teaching and research dimensions in the student's formation and, through them, I try to understand the meanings for these graduates the possibility to live and produce in the academic world culture and the school world culture. In this sense, to achieve this my goal is: a) deepen the theoretical discussion that addresses the importance of research in formation of future teachers, b) analyze three instances that appear to be essential in the process of forming graduate students: the language and the dialogue, the recognition of others and the collectivity; empowerment through words. I take a qualitative study of socio-historical orientation that, from a dialogical perspective, consider the research as a relation between subjects. I hope that the resulting knowledge from the research contribute to problematize, discuss and rethink the initial formation. (AU)
