This research-based article presents an interpretive qualitative study with pre-service teachers of Social Studies, who construct their own meanings from social-studies texts through their roots of knowledge, their shared assumptions, and the intertextuality which are collectively related to the core category: Habitus. Using these strategies, the pre-service teachers employ their own values, understandings and representations of the world to construct meaning. The author of this research collected and analyzed the data through the methodology of Grounded Theory. Pre-service teachers’ artifacts and class video recordings were used as major sources to collect data over the period of one semester.
Abstract (es)
Este artículo es el resultado de una investigación cualitativa interpretativa desarrollada con profesores de Ciencias Sociales en formación quienes construyen sus propios significados de textos relacionados con su campo de formación dadas sus raíces del conocimiento, sus asunciones compartidas y la intertextualidad las cuales se relacionan a su vez con la categoría Habitus que las nuclea a todas. El conocimiento previo, las asunciones y la intertextualidad de los docentes en formación les permite construir sus propios significados de los textos basados en sus valores, comprensiones y representaciones del mundo. El investigador recopiló y analizó los datos basado en la Teoría Fundamentada. Los trabajos producidos por los docentes en formación y las transcripciones de video grabaciones a lo largo de un semestre fueron los instrumentos de recolección de información.
