This article aims to describe how an in-service education process can be built from a (re)reading of Freire's epistemology and the work developed in cultural circles. This investigation has a qualitative approach, developed with five teachers of a state early years elementary school in São Paulo. In this research, a training action was established in which, during fifteen meetings, the researcher and participants dialogued about themes that were identified in the speeches of the participants, when describing the situations experienced by them in the school context. The data produced were interpreted from the Dialogic Discourse Analysis viewpoint, derived from Bakhtinian studies. The results show that building an in-service education based on the assumptions of Freire's epistemology can make it possible to become aware of reality, by overcoming an uncritical view of the at-the-edge-situations experienced in the school context, as well as the development of limit-action to overcome these situations and to build a critical conscience.

Keywords : freirean epistemology; liberating education; in-service education; dialogue; awareness.
