Beyond numbers and repetitions: learning from participants in the Extension Course

Abstract

The article analyzes the narratives of the participants of the Extension Course (CE), seeking to identify what they point out of their learning process. It is a qualitative research, inserted in the research-training studies for using the narrative methodology in the production of data, which has as corpus of analysis the narrative texts of sixteen students of the CE of a Public University of Rio de Janeiro. Referenced in the studies by Freire (1978, 1980, 2002, 2006), Ball et al (2012) and Passegi and Souza (2017), the research showed, through the narratives of the EB participants, that they appropriated a teaching proposal in a problematic perspective, through which there is a horizontal relationship between teacher and student; the teacher mediates and organizes teaching; and, the student is considered a thinking being, who builds his autonomy, therefore, it is necessary that the teacher organize his class favoring decision making, building rules and personal strategies.
