Documentação narrativa de experiências pedagógicas no curso de pedagogia: a “carta do abraço”

Abstract

The article is the result of a research-training, inserted in a network investigation about instituting experiences of teacher training in Latin America, which aimed to theme and develop, through the Narrative Documentation of Pedagogical Experiences (DNEP), reading, writing, editing and publishing strategies of pedagogical narratives in initial teacher training. Since the 2000s, DNEP has been developed predominantly in the continuing education of teachers, with openness to ethical-methodological creations that can adapt it to different pedagogical territories. Our research seeks to adapt it to the territory of the Pedagogy course of a public Brazilian university. This article analyses a strategy developed for students to comment each other’s narratives: the “embrace letter”. Our analysis focuses on the tones of comments that contribute to the pedagogical edition of the accounts, making known the hermeneutic work initiated by the students with the narratives written by their colleagues and discussing how the comments found in them are characterized.
