ABSTRACT
This article aims at presenting the preliminary analysis of a self-confrontation interview of a French teacher from Parana state, that will show how the work situation is seen by the teacher and how it influences her activity. Analyzing the text, we could observe how she becomes aware of her way of acting, her reactions to the unexpected, her body posture, the crystalized and repetitive actions, which can help us to understand her activity. It is the fact of being aware of those processes that can allow the appropriation of her practices and therefore her development. We will present the theoretical framework that underlies the research and then the methodological procedures. Finally, we will show the partial analysis of the data and the conclusions that we found, which show the awareness process of her actions that, according to Vigotski (2003), can be the engine of development.
Key-words:
