Voicing Teaching Practice: Sensitive Exchanges Among History Teachers

Abstract

This article presents and analyzes the Diz aí, pessoa docente! project, a digital platform for sharing educational experiences of History teachers in museums and cultural heritage spaces. Based on the account of a school visit to the Palácio da Liberdade, conducted by teacher Márcia Fernandes, it discusses the role of sensitive experience in teacher training and cultural mediation. Grounded in authors who address teacher knowledge, sensitive education, and the relationship between memory, culture, and teaching, the text emphasizes the importance of teacher protagonism in building critical and context-based narratives. It argues that sharing experiences and creating collaborative spaces, both physical and virtual, enhance teachers’ interpretive autonomy, strengthening their role as learning subjects and cultural mediators. The study highlights the need for public policies that promote teachers’ access to museums for enjoyment and continuous training, broadening repertoires and sensitivities in History teaching.
