Knowledges and pedagogical practice: an integration between theory and practice

Abstract

The teaching know-how arouses the interest of educators who deal with this subject from different points of view: teacher’s competence; integration of the student’s hidden knowledge; the reflexive-critical teacher; proposal for liberating education and political practice; the recognition of educational complexity and reflection on the fragmentation of disciplines which make
difficult the interdisciplinariety. This descriptive-qualitative study is about a teaching process based on theoretical and empirical analyses, proposed by Edgar Morin, and took place in the discipline of didactics from the Master Course of Health and Education at UNIFOR in 2004. Twenty Master students from several professional categories participated in the event. The outcomes showed that the dynamics applied to the study provided greater
understanding of concepts, integration, as well as relaxing environment concerning the learning process. It is concluded that strategies such as games, group dynamics and pedagogical psychodrama provide participation and the expression of feelings, interaction, assimilation and experiences shared through the collective construction of knowledge.
