These discussions are part of a doctoral research whose primary purpose was to verify the theoretical methodological potential of freirean praxis for the construction of knowledge oriented to the transformation of researches and proposals on the education of teachers and their educators. The methodology included biographical accounts, which were analyzed through the Critical-Communicative Methodology assumptions and Paulo Freire's Progressive Pedagogy. The research results indicate contributions to the education of educators inside and outside of school spaces.
