Teaching in the University Environment

Conditions of its memorability from the biographical-narrative approach

Abstract

In an interpretive-narrative study carried out at the UNMdP, the ethical dimension of the teaching of teachers considered memorable by their students was studied through the biographical-narrative approach in articulation with educational ethnography. The category "memorable teaching" emerges from a resignification and resentization of the research findings of this study. The "memorability" dimensions of teaching are reflected in the following macro categories: speech therapy, passionate teaching, teaching as an existential commitment, and therapeutic teaching. In turn, each macrocategory contains different categories that show full aspects of meaning for understanding what teachers believe, feel and think, as well as what they actually do when they teach. Although, we present these findings in a very synthetic way, they allow us to approach the understanding of the network of meanings and meanings housed in teaching practices that leave their mark on the subjectivity of students.
