Learning with experience: which knowledge production?

The PROJETO FORMAR (-SE), which involved students from the Teachers Basic Education Course, was an opportunity for future teachers to interact with hospitalized children who used to live in shelters. Conducted as a research, this project tried to understand, through analysis of field work, how this experience and actions contributed to the teachers' education and the type of knowledge acquired. The research confirmed the production of knowledge most important to the humanizing teaching, essential for the teaching activity. Key-words - Teachers' education; theory/practice relationship; teaching knowledge.
