The teaching for the research: interlocutions with Paul Freire in teaching in library

This paper examines the Freirean proposal for teaching/ learning, specifically in the field of Information Science, a field that requires both rigorous research procedures and knowledge sharing, and discusses the approach to research, adopted by a university Librarianship lecturer, that is allied with dialogue and exchange of information. Results from the application of such research procedures during the academic training of librarians are reported that serve to reinforce the importance of shared teaching/learning in classrooms. This study employs a descriptive researchmethodology, using a qualitative approach that includes observation techniques, experiential reporting and interviews. Through the critical-reflexive milieu provided to students, the practicality of sharing knowledge in practice of teaching in Librarianship is confirmed. Moreover, student satisfaction was enhanced through the deployment of this teaching method in academic training.
