Narrativas de la experiencia docente: La construcción polifónica de la identidad a través del cuerpo

Abstract

The research had the interest to understand the polyphonic construction (various narratives) of the identity through the body in the teaching experience from a constructionism perspective, and a second-order qualitative methodology, with the participation of two high school teachers and one elementary school teacher chosen by a convenience sampling, for that reason the in-depth interview and the focus group were used as information collection instruments. The results were approached from a categorical analysis, where the following constructs were related: identity (descriptions of himself / herself, meanings, diverse voices and experiences), and body (culture, medium and body image). As a conclusion, the polyphony concept was resumed from the multidisciplinary concept as a metaphoric resource for the comprehension of the meanings that had been constructed through the narratives and the co-construction of the same ones on the experiences of teaching, framed in the corporal dynamics, like the gestures, postures and specific movement patterns of the construction and configuration of the identity in the teacher from the interaction with others and the conception of himself.
