Abstract

This article focuses on the research track followed by a PE teacher from the initial stage of his formation and throughout his professional experience in different educational levels. It shows the way in which autobiographical accounts (in the shape of narratives and class diaries) favour a systematic study of one´s own practice, enhancing its understanding, transformation and improvement from both a reasoned and critical perspective. The conclusion is evident: reflective practice gives not only the possibility of calling into question and modifying one´s attitude towards teaching, but also of debating and avoiding certain assumptions about the job chosen and the obligations derived from it.
