Abstract

Aprender a Estudar Textos [Learning to Study Texts] (AET) is a teacher professional development program that focuses on reading and comprehension of academic texts in the 4th and 5th grades of elementary school. Through cycles of study and the implementation of model lesson plans, AET aims to support the conceptualization and adoption of effective reading practices. A thematic analysis of self-reports created by participating teachers shows that the concepts introduced in the professional development sessions are incorporated into the representations of teachers’ own practices, increasing the variety and depth of the actions and intentionalities they describe. The results reflect the potential of analyzing representations of practice to promote reflection on what, how, and why to teach.
