Abstract

This study aims to analyze autobiographical narratives articulated with the process of constituting teaching knowledge, based on the early professional experiences of a Science teacher in the context of Basic Education. This is a qualitative study grounded in the construction of autobiographical reports produced by the researcher herself, understood as reflective devices for analyzing teaching practice and the construction of professional identity. The first narrative highlights challenges related to the didactic transposition of scientific content, emphasizing the need to articulate scientific knowledge with the reality experienced by students as a condition for promoting meaningful learning. The second narrative addresses experiences involving the application of innovative didactic strategies aimed at developing premises of Scientific Literacy, problematizing the obstacles faced by teachers, especially in public schools with limited resources. Finally, the third narrative discusses teaching in Youth and Adult Education, highlighting conceptual and methodological difficulties, while also expressing the formative richness of this educational modality, which requires inclusive and accessible pedagogical practices. When analyzed in an articulated manner, the narratives contribute to the resignification of the teacher constitution, showing that teaching is a process marked by challenges, overcoming, and affectivity, in which knowledge emerges from the articulation between theory, practice, and experience.
