The accident by scalping is a sad reality that is still part of the Amazon Pará river side scenery, in spite of all efforts that have been done to do away with it. The accident consists of partial or total scalping, also including ears and eyebrows, in rudimentary small boats with the engines adapted in the central part. The victims, mostly girls and adult women carelessly positioned near the engine, have their hair curled in the shaft and brutally ripped out. As a result of the accident, their physical appearence becomes marked and, without exception, they suffer psychological and social trauma, target of curiosity, estrangement and prejudice due to the stigma of being scalped. The accident still concerns because statistics shows that they still happen nowadays. Besides the difficulties because of the long treatment, the child/teenagers will suffer prejudice in the school environment when they are back to their homecity. In this sense, the study has as theme the pedagogical pratice in charge of teachers aiming social insertion of scalped girls so we can understand the senses and meanings which come up (implicit or explicitly), their limits, possibilities and challenges experienced in the school environment. It is a field research with teachers, with descriptive and qualitative approach, having autobiographic narratives as theory-methodological reference aiming the investigation to reveal the subjective material of these subjects' living. Our intention is to understand the knowledge production, senses and meanings manifested in docent practices, needing to deal with subjectivity, the perspective and the particular ways they use to have a relationship with the victims, trying to extract from the teachers’ narratives elements which identify limits and possibilities for the pedagogical process. The study demonstrates that teachers lack professional background to deal with questions involving processes of acceptance and reconstruction of the self images of the victims/girls, once there isn’t any plan for dealing with the students’ prejudiced and discriminatory behavior. This reinforces the understanding that the senses of the teachers’ actions come from values based not only in patterns and social norms or moral values imposed and apprehended in their social and cultural context since their childhood, but also from practical actions based in emotion, desire, pain, feelings, affections and experiences so they can take interventive decisions. Thus, the guiding senses of the teachers’ actions carry features of their professional personality, where they base their ability to know how/to do – experiential knowledges that arise and are validated in everyday praxis – but also in their skill to know/to be, knowledges of their own life history. It is in such a context that pedagogical actions with the girls/victims assume particular features, much more related with negotiation, improvisation and adaptations than with previously conceived scientific techniques, determined by the intelectual and academical world, but related to conditions of humanity, feelings and affectivity that mobilize and model the interactions. Their action is based on social practice, which is complex, interlaced by subjectivity, representations and symbolic interactions, permeated with uncertainty and ethical implications.
