Saber do cuidado entre estrelas e pessoas: experiências discentes e formação docente na Licenciatura em História/UFCG e na EJA.

Abstract

Based on personal formative experiences, this work seeks to question, locate and criticize in the subject of the experience the “I”, formed by society, planned (un)successfully to become a “normal” citizen, as well as relationships with a “other”and its differences. Starting from memories, diaries and reports, from early childhood education to higher education — in the History Degree at UFCG —, the main objective of the work is to essay in my life contours that I give to myself and others, which go through my experience as a student, but also the teaching practice initiated by graduation, mainly located in Youth and Adult Education. Along this path, between the pretended reality and the sincerity of poetic licenses, fragments of a symphony of life are composed, divided into three intervals: a prelude to childhood, and the confusing search to know “who am I?”, faced with a world of adults; an interlude of adolescence, in a resounding cry for a “new me” amidst relationships with changes in one’s own life; and a postlude in maturation, in which the taste for oneself and others is outlined by difficult otherness. Based on the concepts of experience in Larrosa, in order to delimit what is experienced, the (a)normalization of students — in Popkewitz — and the creation of these concepts of myself and others must be exposed based on a self-evaluation as a working intern, to question: who was I, who am I and what do I do, as a student and a teacher, in the classroom? Therefore, I operate these concepts with the care of the self, proposed by Foucault, so that, in caring for one's own student-teaching practice, with one's own and others' consciousness, one can locate whether there are signs of attitudes, practices, concepts and forms of normalization in experience, and how to take care of them, transform them into new perspectives on the subjects who go to school: on myself and on others.
