OBSERVING THE INVISIBLE: THE TRANSFERENTIAL RELATIONSHIP FROM THE DISCOURSES BETWEEN CHILDREN AND TEACHERS MONITORS IN AN ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY

ABSTRACT:

The main purpose of this research is to interpret the discourses of the transferencial relations between children and monitors teachers in an astronomical observatory. In this regard, the concepts of transference and discourse is introduced highlighting the psychoanalytic aspect as reference to understand the teacher-student relation, during a class visit in an astronomical observatory. The present work is theoretically and methodologically based on Education, Psychoanalisys and Astronomy Education references. This report refers to a field investigational qualitative research with the following instruments for the constitution of data: observation, audiovisual recording and fild diary documentations. The results obtained by the analysis of the four lacanian discourses of the unconscious point to traces of three approaches to the discursive transferential relationship between monitors and children at the observatory: authoritarianism, excitability and otherness.
