FONTOURA, Helena Amaral da; CANEN, Ana  and  MONTEIRO, Filomena Maria de Arruda. Construindo pontes na formação docente: experiências que se articulam. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2010, vol.19, n.41, pp.397-421. ISSN 2238-2097.

The present article deals with studies developed by three educational researchers about teacher education geared towards the challenge of social inequalities, beyond dichotomies based exclusively on social class, gender or ethnic differences. &e conducting theme that unites them is the belief in teachers’ potentials to act as producers and constructers of knowledges. Also, a common belief is present in the employed qualitative methods, as well as in regard to understanding the University as a site for qualified teacher education, both initial and continuing ones. the authors share concrete experiences undertaken in teacher education in a social transformative approach, refining both theoretical categories and pedagogical strategies to translate such an approach in everyday teaching practices.

Keywords : Teacher Education; Qualitative Research; School-University Relationship; Social Inequality.
