ABSTRACT
This text develops a method to think of education as an educational experience (CONTRERAS; PÉREZ, 2010) with the use of photography. This elaboration takes place in the field of Pedagogy from a perspective inspired by philosophy (BENJAMIN, 1986, 2012, GADAMER, 2013, ARENDT, 2013) with references to photography by the aesthetic of dimension. It aims at discussing the theoretical construct of a method that uses photography to think about the educational experience of teachers. It develops the idea of the subject who observes the image as a receptor and determinant element to its comprehension, situated temporally and spatially in the course of the historical process, identifying something in the horizon of lived observed with what can establish dialogue. It presents photography as an instrument to the interpretative analysis of reality through the encounter of horizons, understood as an object of culture that expresses a vision about reality and constitutes an apparatus of observation for the possibility of generating interpretations arising from what affects the subject receiving the image. In interpreting what they see in the photograph as evidence of educational practice, the observer activates their educational experience and carries out the exercise of thinking about what is lived and evidenced in the image. It is emphasized that photography is not merely a representation of the referents that are in evidence, but it entangles worlds in relation from a historical and aesthetic perspective.
