| Sumario: | The article analyzes the work The Professor written by Frank McCourt, and which was published in 2006. The narration displays a multicolored kaleidoscope, intertwining multiple variables as central thematic nuclei in teacher training and performance in spaces that reveal the social conflict that the educational field isgoing through before and today. Reading challenges us and impels us to questionourselves in particular as teachers and even more so as teacher trainers: what motivates the subjects to choose the teaching career? Is the reason in question decisive in the exercise of the profession? What place does teacher training occupy in its performance? What model of teacher training does the reality of the classroomdemand? How does the teacher deal with the unpredictability of the classroom?These questions strain our knowledge and modes of action by avoiding their crystallization; they arise from a perception enriched in dialogues, experiences and readings formed from the conflicts. The text focuses on those situations thatMcCourt faces in the classroom based on storytelling, an experience that allows himto return to his childhood-adolescent past, scenes that become present and that enables the opening of other meeting, exchange, and listening spaces with the new generations. It is in the educational practice with vulnerable young people that it warns that what is received in teacher training is inadequate. This break is revealedin the use of survival strategies that over time and filtered by reflective thinking will become true teaching strategies. |
