Abstract

In our work we have studied the construction of identity in a group of students. They are teachers who are doing their studies in virtual environments. We have studied the discoursive exchange in a forum -on the Moodle platform- in a course of Psychology and School (Portuguese Language Degree). This paper mainly introduce the analysis strategy that has been followed to study discourses exchanges . We performed three types of analysis. The first seeks to identify tematic content the Burkean pentad as organizar. The second and third were directed to identify the types and dynamics of exchange in the forum. The converging results of these analyzes suggest that the meaning of “being a teacher “ is dialogically constructed in discursive exchanges and focus on the teacher as an agent and as a mediator in the transmission of knowledge . Also appearing meanings about being good or bad teacher.
