Narrativas de uma formação docente no espaço não-formal: libertação ou repetição?

Abstract

This research aims to identify elements of critical thinking in members of a Project through the analysis of the path, vision and action of these in the group, especially in activities focused on environmental education. The Grupo de Estudos e Articulações sobre Tartarugas Marinhas (GTAR-Verdeluz) is characterized as Non-formal Education for its project “GTAR Itinerante”, which invites the community of Fortaleza to act in the conservation of sea turtles present on the coast. Thus, I reflect if my teaching practice along with the other participants are in line with the critical education proposed by Paulo Freire. Based on the qualitative methodologies, I describe my path as a teaching student and member of the team from the narrative of experiences lived. The information from the other members was collected through individual semi-structured interviews. The analysis suggest that members are still in a development process of critical thinking. Considerations and suggestions were made in order to invest in the criticality of members.
