Resumen

Este trabajo responde a la convicción de que es necesario estudiar (y no sólo intentar cambiar) la realidad educativa. Por ello se analiza: (1) la distancia existente entre la visión de un grupo de quince maestras y dos asesores (dos de los autores) en una experiencia de asesoramiento para resolver problemas de comprensión en el aula; y (2) las acciones realizadas para alcanzar una definición compartida de dichos problemas que permita colaborar en su solución. Los resultados del análisis muestran que a los asesores les costó actuar de acuerdo con sus propósitos iniciales: asumieron una gran responsabilidaden la redefinición de los significados de los problemas y no siempre hicieron público a las maestras el razonamien to seguido. Estos resultados permiten especular sobre cómo compartir significados de un modo eficaz, pero, más importante aún, revelan las dificultades inherentes al intento de transformar los principios teóricos en actuaciones educativas, dificultades que parece necesario conocer.

Abstract

This work responds to the conviction that it is necessary to study -and not only to change- the educational reality. Thus, it analyses: 1) existing differences between the viewpoint of a group of fifteen teachers and two advisers (two of the authors) working together to solve comprehension problems in the classroom; and 2) actions taken to reach a shared definition of these problems that contribute to solve them. The results show that the advisers had difficulties following their initial intentions: 1) they assumed a great responsibility in redefining the meaning of problems, and 2) they did not always share with the teachers the underlying reasoning. These results enable us to speculate on how to share meaning efficiently. But, more importantly, they reveal the inherent difficulties in attempting to transform theoretical principles into educational performance. It is necessary to understand these difficulties.
