CHARRIER, Marie-Cécile  and  BERGIER, Bertrand. Exploration of the imaginary of teachers in schools: methodological notes. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.46, pp.773-808. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/dialogo.educ.15.046.AO01.

This paper presents the epistemological and methodological foundations of a research in education sciences, aimed at the exploration of the imaginary of the schools teachers in a learning context. The development, which intends to be comprehensive, highlights the issues of objectivity/subjectivity to meet the scientific requirements which does not exclude its qualitative character. On a reflection about language, considered as a compromise between the structuralism and hermeneutics, the researcher finds his research and analysis instrument: semi-directive interview on initial and continuing training, Archetype test constructed on 9 elements of Durand, Yves (2005), performed after the anthropological structures of imaginary of Durand, G. (1992). We will see how the analysis of the symbolism of the terms of appointment, combined to micro-universe defined by AT.9, allows us to define each person as a hero, main character of a mythical story, that one of learning outlined in another stage of the research.

Keywords : Imaginary of Teachers; Epistemology; Hermeneutics; Anthropological Structures of Imaginary.
