O que será que será? O que quer uma formação (continuada) de professores?

Abstract

This article seeks to bring to discussion unrest produced in the development of an extension course at the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Minas Gerais entitled “Sentirthinking with the land: for a poetics of being [and thinking about mathematical education] in difference”. Course aimed at basic education teachers and postgraduate students from different regions of Brazil and the world. Different expectations come into play regarding the purpose of an extension course that is intended to be educational. Does teacher training want Truths? Answers? Conciliation? A cry for help? In this movement, from a qualitative perspective, and based on the philosophy of difference, we map the paths taken to cut and reorganize them according to the affects that allowed us to reconstruct our position in the world, especially as teachers (militant). This writing invites readers to surf their own processes of (trans)formation when encountered with others and their other reality, experience layersthat involve teacher training at its different levels to complexify their practice, opening the fields of view and the possibilities of invention for an affirmative life. In three cuts, the relationship between school, educational processes and decoloniality is revisited as a border place where different imaginaries, desires, and knowledge roam. It remains to explore which societies these different types of education produce!
