Valéria is interested in the social and linguistic processes of self
construction and in the development of new narratives that brings new
meanings and new possibilities. In her Master´s degree dissertation “Learning to be and learning to live together: collaborative and dialogic practices in the scholar context“,
she writes about the influence of the reflecting processes in this
matter. This research is characterized as a research-action and it was
based on the social construction and collaborative and dialogic
practices, which were brought to create a space that would enable the
improvement of relationships in the scholar environment. The search for a
construction of a conversational context organized for the promotion of
new types and qualities of connections between teachers-students and
students-students evidencing two pillars: learning to be and learning to live together.
The intervention had the proposition of building with the participants
(teachers, students, their parents/or those responsible for them and the
school group), new ways to be and to live together, re-affirming the
social function of the school and its commitments with the
transformation of the current reality.
