A STUDY ABOUT THE TEACHING ACTIONS IN A SCHOOL OF 1ST CYCLE IN PORTUGAL

ABSTRACT: This paper presents results of a study about the teaching activity of two teachers in a school of 1st cycle in Portugal. The methodological foundations that lead to data collection and organization are based on Textual Discursive Analysis (TDA) from Moraes e Galiazzi (2011). The teachers classes were analysed using a way of organizing the data coming two different analytical instruments: the teacher’s Matrix from Arruda e Passos (2017), and the Chart called “the objectives and reasons of action”, by Tardif e Lessard (2008). It was possible to identify the categories of teaching activity performed by the teachers analyzed and the frequency of these categories of action. Through a new way of organizing the data it was possible to conclude that the classroom environment and the pedagogical style of each teacher can be decisive factors for the actions performed in class.
