O ethos do professor como agente de mudanças de situações de conflito em sala de aula

Abstract

The complexity of discourse in education brings the possibility to analysis under a few perspectives. At this work, is presented an approach based on the development of the studies of discourse and rhetoric; it is an approach that analyses the potentiality of the teacher s discourse as an instrument to change conflict situations in classrooms. More specifically, from the senses constructed in some situations of verbal interaction with students. The interactional approach in classrooms allows to observe the senses constructed, through the language, of the manners of saying and the conditions of production of discourse that influence the actions of the interlocutors. The interactivity supposes that everyone in school scene have qualities noticed by others, in a way that how teachers build their professional identity, since the methods and practicals adopted or by the words used until the way of expression, everything have an influence in your spectators (students). Teacher s style has to do with his behaviour, his ethos. At this research, is noticed that ethos is a behaviour that articulates verbal and nonverbal, causing at its recipients multisensories effects. The Discourse Analysis indicates concrete ways to an analysis of the elements and conditions of enunciation. It is necessary to observe that it is not the application of Discourse Analysis to an object of pedagogic reflexion, but, from the reflexion about theoric and methodologic principles of Discourse Analysis to think the pedagogical relations.
