The pottery of educational research in Language and Literature: the creative process of flowing, transforming others and yourself through education

Abstract

This work arises from the intention of initiating a dialogue between students and professors in the university carrear to being a teacher of Letters. This dialogue is to reflect about the reason of training in educational research, and its possible articulations with what is generated in educational practices in Language and Literature in contexts with different degrees of formalization.On this tour the potter's metaphor emerged as a mediator in which we put to play the reflections of the field. It helps to find the possibility of materializing them in a handmade process that, as an image or a succession of images, is becoming an enabler for understanding which allows us to generate multiple questions in which the educational processes are related, as wellas those connected to the construction of knowledge.We associate the idea of Educational Research with the handmade process, and not with a series production; in which the molds are given to us and our task as teachers is reduced to adjust our reality toexternal parameters. We want to invite ourselves and you to look at our own practices, to attend to the processes in detail, to link academic theories with everyday theories, within the framework of conceiving the teacher as a potential research teacher.
