Book, I Think, Therefore I teach[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. One of the biggest challenges of education in the 21st century lies in enabling and updating our teachers, especially with regard to their continuing professional development. In addition to initial training and personal experience, it is necessary for every teacher to reflect frequently on daily practice and to engage with readings that help them improve as a human being, citizen, and professional.. For your training to be truly continuous, the collection O Valor do Professor presents 12 themes that will accompany you for 12 months. In each volume, brief chapters address issues related to self-care, research, didactics, ethics, and creativity.. There are thirty chapters, one for each day of the month, accompanied by practical suggestions and a bibliography for further study.. I think, therefore I teach, emphasizes that the teaching task presupposes constant intellectual exercise and that, in turn, students learn to think better when they are in dialogue with reflective teachers. In addition to curricular content, these teachers teach how to analyze phenomena, formulate hypotheses, develop the capacity for abstraction, grasp concepts, expand critical awareness, identify contradictions, seek scientific truths. Human intelligence is so complex that it itself cannot exhaust all its possibilities. This fascinating paradox invites us to think about thought itself.
