Collaborative Work: An Opportunity for the Development of Practical Thinking of the Reflexive Professional

Abstract

The essay exposes pertinent aspects to the theme "Collaborative Praxis of the Teacher from the Reflexive-Vivencial Perspective", in order to unveil the weakness in the collaborative practice of the teachers, due to the lack of application of projects of shared work in the pedagogical daily life, which could generate an attitude of change that, eventually, is not due to the lack of dialogical communion, collaboration and reflection. This manuscript aims to illustrate the value of experience as a fundamental fact of the reflexive and self-critical process of the collaborative work of teachers, in the development of the practical thinking of the reflective professional. This review considers collaborative work as a co-constructive model of reflective practice, a tool for and for teachers, proactive and participatory members in an educational center. Therefore, it is necessary that teachers, as an effort of social and collective construction, give relevance to this task in the school where they work.
