PATHWAYS TO A GOOD TEACHING: WHAT IS IT TO BE A GOOD TEACHER?

The objective of the study was to describe what the teachers of higher education in Physical Education of the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT) of Miracema and Tocantinopolis consider a good teacher.A qualitative research, of the descriptive exploratory type, was carried out, composed of 14 faculty members belonging to the Undergraduate Courses in Physical Education of UFT. A self- paced questionnaire was applied with an open question for teachers: " what do you consider to be a good teacher?". Teachers have demonstrated that to be a good teacher it is necessary to consider the technical dimensions, but we cannot move away from the human, sensitive and relational dimensions that are established and constructed during the teaching- learning processes. We also identify that the political dimension is imbricated, intertwined and even veiled in the pedagogical actions and in the ways of being a teacher. In this way, we indicate that it is necessary to find strategies for the awareness of this dimension.
