RESUMO
Based on the Exploratory Practice principles and as a member of the Rio de Janeiro Exploratory Practice group, I seek to understand in this study the construction of identities in personal narratives of professional experiences with Exploratory Practice. This is a modality of practitioner research that integrates investigation to daily professional activities. Working in three groups of three members, characterized as exploratory mini-communities, the teachercollaborators who were interested in and available to participate in this collaborative-inclusive-participative research and myself had the opportunity to revisit our pedagogical exploratory practices. In interview-talks with exploratory potential, we share our narratives; thus, recreating what happens naturally in our Exploratory Practice group meetings, where we find opportunities to engage in continuing teacher education processes. In attempting to include everybody in the work for understanding, we re-signify our participation in this research and turn it into an inclusive and hybrid enterprise. We carried out the narrative analysis in a collaborative way ¿ I transcribed and shared electronically the transcriptions of our first meeting and, then, we had another session to discuss our personal understandings of the identities that we had constructed in the narratives. Collaboratively, we observed that our narratives enabled us to gain deeper understandings of the multiple personal and professional identities, which we construct in the investigative work developed in the classroom or in other contexts, oriented by the Exploratory Practice principles.
