Compreendendo as minhas experiências com emoções nas aulas com crianças do ensino fundamental I

Abstract

The main objective of the present investigation was to narratively analyze my emotions in classroom experiences. More specifically, I sought to understand, through my own narratives, how I constructed “practical-professional knowledge” based on the emotions I experienced in the classroom. The study was carried out in 2023/2024 and was based on the theoretical methodological framework of Narrative Research, as proposed by Clandinin and Connelly (2000, 2011, 2015). I served as subject and researcher of this study. Through the experiences narrated, related to my trajectory as a teacher, I got to know, understand and experience the practical-professional perspective of my journey as a teacher (Clandinin; Connelly 1995; Elbaz, 1983). As instruments for the development of field texts, I used my notebooks, my field notes and the timeline. Regarding the theoretical framework that supported the research, the studies about emotions (Barcelos, 2010; 2015; 2018; 2021; 2022; Aragão, 2005; 2011) were considered. I also sought to learn about theorists who deal with the topic of emotions from studies concerning practical-professional knowledge (Clandinin; Connelly, 1995; Elbaz, 1983; Colmanetti, 2016). From the narratives of my own experiences as a teacher, I was able to perceive that these experiences are permeated by various emotions, both positive and negative, which certainly influence my teaching practice. At the end of my research I understood that even though I cannot have control over my emotions, much less over the people around me, every experience I have will certainly help me build my practical-personal and practical professional knowledge. Besides, I learned that the core subject of this essay needs more studies concerning the build of knowledge on the teaching formation, considering different instances (Ely, Vinz, Anzul and Downing, 2001) from the ones that contributed to my narrative perspective throughout this research.
