Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/4060This study describes the research about what is to be an orienteer teacher into programs of post-graduation in education, developed with eight teachers of the Post-Graduation Program in Education of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. This is a qualitative research based on the phenomenon that is situated and it has as interrogatives: what is to be a orienteer teacher? How they develop the function of orienteer? The empiric data were produced by interviews that had the purpose to present the existential position that the teachers produce in their experience to orientate and also to identify how they play the function to be an orienteer. Our thesis is that to be an orienteer only can be understood at the time that they start to live the experience, not by the behavior submit a pre-conceived world, in opposite, when they exist in the world of the education is when they create their existential base. The theoretical referential of the Phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty, in special the work Phenomenology of the Perception, gives sustentation to this study. The data produced through the interviews with the orienteer teachers shows that to be orienteer is to be together, to learn, to open the horizons, to deal with the pressure of the system, with the singularity of the human condition, it´s a kind of activity that make you grow, to learn, to be disappointed, to feel important like as in others situations in life. The relationship between orienteer and their students must be based on empathy e can´t be reduced only into an exchange of knowledge, but also of affection and that´s why sometimes is a dramatic relation, including the projections of the both. We do not defend that is not necessary one formation that attends the specifics requests of the activity of orientation. In opposite, a educative practice demands interlocutions, to understand what happen to us, what we have done and why we have done, what it was successful and what was not, it´s to share life, into a project that have as its basis the human existence e its possibilities to come-to-be.porAcesso AbertoProfessores universitários - Rio Grande do Norte.FenomenologiaExistencialismoUniversidade do Rio Grande do NorteProgramas de Pós-graduação em Educação - Corpo docenteTeseCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO::FUNDAMENTOS DA EDUCACAO::FILOSOFIA DA EDUCACAO
