Abstract
This article discusses Paulo Freire's contributions to teacher development and pedagogical practice from the perspective of the dialogue category. Pedagogical practice is the core as an analysis category and a development activity which is treated on an institutional and pluralized perspective while pedagogical practice constitutes itself in one of its translations. The relational dimension is highlighted as characteristic and basis of Freire's thoughts as well as the explanation of the relation teaching-research; teaching-learning; learners-socio-educational context.
