The corpus analysis was made in light of Moraes and Galiazzi (2007) with discursive textual analysis, which consists of three cycles called by the authors as deconstruction and unitarization; categorization process and production of an interpretive-descriptive text (metatext). From the analysis it was possible to identify possible changes in pedagogical future of student-teachers, characterized by pedagogical strategies and interventions that lead to knowledge construction through interaction and collaboration among peers.
