Abstract
The discussion of this text, elaborated from a doctoral research project carried out in a municipal public school in Rio Grande do Sul, aims to understand how critical autoethnography constitutes a theoretical-methodological research process that allows the reconstruction of the teaching practice. For this, we present the theoretical-methodological contribution of critical autoethnography by relating autoethnographic research with the conceptual foundation of critical theory. , We then use narratives of teaching experiences to identify how recursive and reflective processes, both supported by critical reflection, have direct implications for the researcher's teaching training and practice. In the final considerations, we discuss critical autoethnography as a doubly transforming experience, as it involves gradual and simultaneous processes of reading the world and reconstructing the teaching practice that occurred throughout the investigation itself.
