The primary goal of this paper is to examine the classroom environment in Colombian public schools based on the trainee teachers’ reflective views when undertaking practicum day-to-day experiences during the final stage of their professional studies. The most important theoretical concepts are based on critical thinking, reflective teaching, and classroom management. The method follows the qualitative research approach, catching a deeper comprehension of the classroom as a complex setting where the teaching-learning processes are carried out according to the curriculum guidelines. Through diaries, observations, narratives, interviewsand meaningful strategies, trainee teachers were able to obtain a more in-depth perception to reach a high level of critical reflections in dealing with the most common academic misconduct episodes which perturb a healthy atmosphere inside the classroom. The results are discussed in relation to the most frequent obstacles, the reasons why they emerge and the implications on the school life. Beyond the mechanical task of planning, developing, and evaluating a class, the challenge of helping the most undisciplined students requires a deep process of reflection, critical thinking, and effective solutions in the light of current international theories andnational education policies concerning teacher preparation goals.
Intuito. Estabelecer a relação entre os ideais educativos de Paulo Freire e sua aplicação na construção da paz, da autonomia e da democracia no interior dos processos pedagógicos escolares. Materiais e métodos. O trabalho de campo foi feito em duas escolas normais superiores dedicadas à formação de professores. Foi utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa basedada na análise documental, na observação, nos registros em diários e entrevistas a administradores educativos e integrantes do governo escolar. Resultado. Demonstra-se que no contexto educativo colombiano as ideias do Paulo Freire vindicam sua permanência nos processos pedagógicos e de currículo para impulsionar a democracia, a paz, a liberdade, a autonomia e a consciência crítica em uma época de pós-conflito. Estes conceitos sustentam os referentes teóricos e metodológicos dos regulamentos, compêndios, materiais didáticos, metodologias de ensino e projetos educativos, os quais experimentam-se em espaços de interação e convívio. Conclusões. Sublinha-se a validez das ideias do Freire para concluir que desde as aulas escolares é possível fazer ações formativas tendentes a provocar a democracia, a autonomia e a paz. Esta é uma contribuição para traçar o perfil social do professor que atualmente precisa a sociedade colombiana.
