THE PROFESSION OF BEING A TEACHER
AGENCY AND TEACHING PARTNER
Keywords:
agency, teacher training, pedagogical partner, educational practicesAbstract
The present work describes a study carried out between 2021 and 2022 with the objective of knowing if the work in pedagogical pairs promotes the agency of future trainers from the planning of an inverted class on specific topics of Political Science. The research was carried out together with 25 students, second and fourth year of the Legal, Political and Social Sciences Faculty taught by the National University of Río Cuarto (UNRC), Argentina. For data collection, a questionnaire with open questions was used, while the methodological design is qualitative, administered online. The results show that the agency of the students is built and expressed in three situations linked to training and teaching practices: the construction of knowledge, dialogue and exchanges of support and unforeseen events. What was found is relevant to rethink initial teacher training and the ways to promote educational contexts that invite the proactive participation of students in their own practices.
