A importância da reflexão na formação e identidade de professores e professoras de cursos de licenciatura de uma instituição de ensino superior

Abstract

Reflection in the educational process is configured as an action of self-analysis, autonomy and awareness, about the being and acting of the educator. In this way, the work aimed to understand the importance of reflection in the training, identity and performance of teachers at a Higher Education Institution, highlighting their contributions and improvements in the educational process. For data collection, a questionnaire composed of ten mixed questions - open and closed - was applied to the institution's teachers, in order to gather more precise and consistent information regarding the relevance of the act of reflecting with regard to training, identity and teaching performance. From this perspective, teachers were able to express their opinions and points of view about the importance of reflection in different contexts of their journey. As a result, it is concluded that, positively, reflection presents results in the formation and construction of the identity of being a teacher, working regularly in their processes and paths, favoring and providing fundamental and enriching attitudes for the realization of a critical and transformative education
