Pedagogia social em âmbito escolar

Abstract

This work is in the format of a Reflective Report presenting my personal and professional course as a teacher of the second and third cycles. The preface section targets the importance of the teacher’s reflective act, and mentions the authors that elaborated studies on the subject. The core of this work, in the first part, is a description of my personal, social and axiologic course, and the perception of educational questions, and the encounter with the today’s pedagogues; in the second part, the importance of school in the construction of the “self” (of pupils), addressing the meaning of the school’s origins and its role on the pupil’s character construction; the third part, focuses on the development of the teaching-learning process, the work with the pupils, the teacher’s role and the pupils participation; at last, in the fourth part, I describe my life long professional development, addressing the teacher training and the Master of Education contribution to the teacher profession. The need for life long training is evident in the course of preparing this Report. It is now necessary to be aware that it is a right and a duty of a teacher, to keep its training updated, continuously and in accordance with the requirements of his time. His training and updating of concepts and practices, will be reflected on its intervention in terms of working with pupils, as well as to the level of its personal and professional development.
