This local and specific study was developed in an educational institution with day nursery and pre-school, it was developed pointing out issues related with the dynamic and internal organization searching to promote a community of practices involving all the staff in educational and organizational issues. The purpose was not the research of causal explanations, but essentially the comprehension of the system that we investigated. The research fits in new paradigms of educational investigation that are present in the studies of investigation-action-formation. The “person” of the educator is valorised as a constructor of pedagogical knowledge. The ethnographic perspective that inspired the investigation focused on the observation, registry and interpretation of the team dynamics. Being a study with explorative characteristics, it wins sense in a fusion of horizons, of questions and answers, which enunciate themselves between conclusions and prolongations that contribute to launch new basis of understandings and knowledge among the educators that practice their profession in the day nursery and pre-school. It also opens perspectives for a work of deeper studies, of interventions with similar characteristics of the pedagogical conversations in the in-service training of the educators. The methodological procedure that we called of pedagogical conversations, integrated in the quotidian, responded to the goals of this study: to give a special attention to the comprehension of the problems from the perspective of the participants in the investigation. This procedure allowed us to approach some practices in a deeper way, through the apprehension of the senses and of the subjective state of the participants.application/pdfporTesesEducação de infânciaConversas pedagógicasInvestigaçãoAcçãoFormaçãoInovaçãoTrabalho de equipaComunidade de práticasCultura dos educadores373.2master thesis
