About professional development, involvement, and subjectivity: The teacher that educate our children

Abstract

To know the life of the ones that educate our children helps to understand the sense of teaching from the pedagogical, political, and ethical contexts. As they cannot be understood from the social emptiness, to quest in their stories gives a new sense to their Praxis. They are always in the focus of society, but we know little about their lives besides what
they do in the classrooms. The article shows that, in spite of the diverse experiences, their opinions show their cultural interest of an educational tendency which leads them to
search different pedagogical possibilities instead of subordinating themselves to guidelines already designed which try to show them the way to follow. It is also stated that these teachers may become initial referents for a pedagogical work which can help others to find common points that may motivate them, especially those teachers who have lost the sense of their profession.
