Abstract
This article addresses the Clinic of the Activity and the Simple and Crossed Self-confrontation (SCSC) Method - which enables analyzing teachers’ work with regard to teaching. It describes the fundamentals of this approach, explains its operational procedures and illustrates its use by analyzing teaching episodes in a multi-case study with four Physical Education teachers. The lessons were filmed, edited and exhibited to be co-analyzed by the participants with the researcher’s mediation. Through the analysis of the episodes, it was possible to identify teachers’ reasons for action, impeded activities, intentions of change and the comparison of ways of acting. As a conclusion, the SCSC method contributes to analysis of the practices by teachers themselves as well as their reflective and professional development.
