Abstract

The present work is stimulated by current investigations about university teacher's formation that, besides daily school life studies, constitute a set of topics considered mobilizers of the didactic reflection and superior teaching practice. To know how the teacher has been using the materials and resources and how has been constructing the pedagogical activities, has to do directly with the significance of the teaching function. This research had as an objective delineate the experiential knowledge outline of the professor who teaches the discipline of Cost Management in the Account Science course offered by a Higher Education Institution in the state of Sao Paulo, trying to identify the processes which structure and give meaning to their pedagogics practices in the university context. To this end, there was an exploratory research - qualitative. Data were collected through observation and interviews in order to identify aspects of professional life and the teacher's pedagogic practice, under the form of description and interpretation of their lived experiences, their habitus and their procedural knowledge. It was verified that the construction of the teacher's experiential knowledge happens through the mastery of educational fields such as: a) the way teacher presents the material to learners, b) the planning of education, c) the management of the classroom, d) the management of content. We can notice that the teacher's teaching knowledge is structured from the experiences he lived in the personal, academic, professional and organizational. His way of being and living as a teacher, his professorial habitus tends to set the rules, or ways of acting in pedagogical practice. These rules are present in the teacher's class, whether as a know-how, or as an instrument of expectations and/or standards judging and evaluating of students and their behaviors. It is concluded that the process of building experiential knowledge of the teacher does not occur in emptiness, their professional development and their teaching performances are inserted in a real and specific context, where their practices must be in line and responding. In this sense, this work contribute with data for the creation of proposals of monitoring and promoting to the experiences of teachers so that they can develop their creativity and originality of daily practice and the generation of a reflexive habitus indispensable for the improvement of teacher's knowledge.
