La reflexión de los docentes sobre su práctica en los espacios institucionales de una escuela media nocturna.

This work presents some preliminary results of the ongoing research "Institutional Workshops as a means of analysis of teaching practices in a night high school", which is being carried out in the Comahue National University and which takes as a starting point an extension project carried out in the same school in the city of Viedma (Río Negro). The students who attend this school come from different socio-cultural contexts and have previously suffered school failure. These peculiarities seem to affect the teachers' representations about themselves, about their representations with respect to their profession and about the importance they assign to their function. From a qualitative perspective, our approach makes it possible to rescue the singularities, the significations and the symbolizations put at stake by each member of the teaching staff in the institutional workshops. The process of construction of knowledge is based on and refers to the critical and coherent recovery and integration of all the representations and knowledge educators display during the interchange which takes place in these workshops.
