Uma interpretação discursiva sobre o real da atividade docente no ensino superior: dificuldades e super-ações

This research aims to present the results of an analysis of a text produced by a higher education teacher where we identify representations built on her/his actually work from the enunciative and semantic levels (Machado & Bronckart 2009). We adopt the socio-discursive interactionism, which attributes to acting and language a fundamental role in human development, and the Labor Psychology (Clot 2006, 2010) which study working situations. To generate the text under analysis we employed a procedure called instruction to the double with an experienced professor of the language studies field who teaches at a public university. As a result, we identify the difficulties to the performance of some work activities, but also overcoming, showing the real work activity of the teacher.
