ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the (auto)biographical perspective as an element of analytical sensitivity in research studies involving teacher training and professional development, focusing on research studies with beginner teachers. The debate that we have raised, based on the discussions held in our Research Group, focuses on a sensitive dimension to help us reflect on the lived experiences and their writings, crossed by the everyday school life. In this sense, we acknowledge (auto)biographical narratives and “written experiences” as powerful tools for understanding the early years of teaching and induction processes.
