Narrative, autobiography and education of educators: extension project in the distance modality

Abstract

This paper reports the experience of continuing training of educators from the offer of the extension course project “Narrative, autobiography and training of educators”, promoted by the Distance Education Center of the University of the State of Santa Catarina. The training, offered in the distance modality, was based on the methodology of autobiographical narrative, in which a biographical space was created for the subjects in (self)training to narrate experiences of initial and continuing training. This report describes the functioning of the course, as well as the fundamentals of the methodology of continuing training with autobiographical narratives, understanding it as an innovative possibility of building knowledge and protagonism on the part of the educators in training. The results of the experience point to the importance of multiplying this type of training, due to its building potential of academic and professional skills and competences.
