Abstract
The democratization of education presents contradictory interests, involving mechanisms of reproduction of inequalities and forces geared to social transformation. In this scenario, the precariousness of teaching work can produce alienation situations that have repercussions on work experiences. It seeks to analyze the teaching activity, experiences, mediations, impediments, and potentials, by the theoretical reference of the clinic of the activity through the technique of instruction to the look-alike that allows the reflective dialogue of the worker with his practice. Two teachers from the first year of natal / rn participated in the research. The results revealed different modes of relation with the activity: a logic of production and control of the class, bringing impediments to the action and the understanding of student centrality in the learning process, demonstrating dynamism and access to enrichment resources of the action. The insertion in a collective of work proves to be fundamental for the development of the workers and their activity.
