RESUMO

Research results confirm that groups of teachers experiencing reflective processes have their professional practice improved, they feel valuable and perceive that there is a space where they can be heard. Group work with teachers, with emphasis on the sociodramatic approach, is attracting interest in the literature as an efficient intervention strategy, contributing to a more conscientious and critical reflection on the training of teachers. This study aims to investigate, in a qualitative approach, the conditions, possibilities and limits in the formation of educational sociodramatic groups in institutions of learning. In addition, through evaluating interviews, it was possible to investigate how the participation of primary education teachers in educational sociodramatic groups affected their concepts on the process. A group was formed by 10 fundamental school teachers of a state public school in the interior of the state of São Paulo. The proposed methodology consisted of three procedures. In the first one, each component of the group had his training, history and professional practice profoundly investigated through an individual interview. This was conducted during the period of "Time for Pedagogic Collective Work" (TPCW) for proximately one hour. Work with the group of teachers started the second procedure and it consisted of twenty weekly one hour meetings also during TPCW. The subjects spontaneously raised by the participants were worked up by discussion and reflection and the theoretical reference adopted in the proposed activities was the Educational Sociodrama. In the third and last procedure, in one hour interviews each teacher was evaluated as to his/her feelings after participating in a reflective group. Individual interviews and group meetings were recorded and transcribed literally. Content Analysis was used to verify the interview results. Group results were evaluated by Content Analysis and by Group Process Analysis according to the J.L. Moreno Socionomy referential. Results indicated that group work to the teachers was a moment of support, experience exchange, release of inner feelings and personal growth. In addition, it was a space for them to expose discontentment, conflicts, unbelief, anguish and anxiety in face of the problems and difficulties they experience in their daily school routine. It was evident that teachers had several relationship and acceptance problems a situation, which was not helped by the functional aspects of the school. On the contrary, it seemed to hinder group work and interpersonal relationships. It is believed that group work in the school context is important as a methodological component in projects of training and professional improving of teachers.
