LACAVA, Lídia. Eros and Psyche Myth: a possible way to think teaching skills. Constr. psicopedag. [online]. 2010, vol.18, n.17, pp. 5-19. ISSN 1415-6954.

The following article is the result of a Master Dissertation research intends to rethink and discuss the teaching practice trough the analysis of the Eros and Psyche Myth worked on Awareness Workshops. The focus of the analysis consists on the study of multiple ways of expression - including the Myth and the Art - as a possibility for a reflection-action-reflection about being and becoming a teacher. The dissertation presents a study made at a private school, based in São Paulo/SP, with a group of nine teachers from elementary school. The methodology used was the research-action, at a study case with subject analysis, on which was sought to prioritize the category subjectivity involved on the teaching-learning relation. A parallel is done between Psyche's tasks to rescue Eros' love with the tasks of the teacher for a pedagogical praxis that increases the awareness of being yourself to be able to be with the other(s). The adopted theoretical support is mainly from Lev Vygotsky, Carl Jung, Fayga Ostrower, Madalena Freire e Edgar Morin who brings the importance of the different languages as a fundamental element to ally affectivity to reasonability, subjectivity to objectivity, symbolic thinking to rational and logical thinking. The present project pursues to open spaces for a creative teaching action, critical and committed with the sociocultural moment where one is living.
