Os professores que tivemos e a formação da nossa identidade como docentes: um encontro com nossa memória

The goal of this study is to question the influence of our former teachers in our professional career as teachers. Although the teaching courses at University emphasize the modern theories of theaching and learning, frequently the attitudes of the new teachers in classroom are mirrored in the behavior of their former teachers. The analyses showed that not only the theacher¿s training occurs at University but during all the school life and after the graduation. The discussion about the histories of lives should be used to question our conceptions of learning and teaching, the role of the school, the teachers and the students, towards changes in education.
