Abstract

BACKGROUND: Communities of practice are groups of professionals who share a common interest. An essential element to conduct them is the facilitator. The latter has the function of organizing meetings, stimulating cooperation and assisting members in professional learning.

METHODS: a descriptive study was carried out in the form of an experience report by the facilitator of a community of practicing swimming teachers. Three teachers participated in this community, one who acted as facilitator and two teachers of infant swimming with approximately two years of experience. The systematization of activities was based on the Pedagogy of Facilitation.
RESULTS: The facilitator’s experiences at each stage of the Pedagogy of Facilitation were reported. In the introduction, the facilitator exposed the proposal of the community of practice and together with the teachers defined the organization of the meetings. In questioning, the facilitator questioned the teachers about the problems faced in professional practice and defined a strategy to solve it. In experimentation, the teachers applied the strategy in practice. In the evaluation, the facilitator raised questions about the strategies used and together with the teachers evaluated the experiences. In learning, the facilitator proposed that the teachers reflect on all the meetings held and the influence on the new knowledge acquired. Sharing was carried out informally after the strategy was applied in practice.
CONCLUSION: By completing all the stages of the Pedagogy of Facilitation, it can be concluded that the teachers participating in the community of practice were able to identify the problems they face in practice, define strategies to solve them, experience them and evaluate the whole process in learning new ones. strategies. Thus, it can be said that the use of Pedagogy of Facilitation as an adequate proposal to systematize the activities of a community of practice.
