Abstract

This research study aims to understand how literature influences on the education processes of teachers. We focused on four auto-biographies from teachers of various teaching levels enrolled in a lato sensu graduate program in teaching at a private university in the state of São Paulo during 2011. From thirty auto-biographies, which reveal particular memorable events during education, we chose those which mention experiences of literature during the education process. We assume that teaching and the continuous training are historical productions which become unique during the life span and that the writing of auto-biographies facilitates the analysis of the education process, revealing experiences, memories and reflections related to the course of the narrator’s training. We collected and highlighted indications from the auto-biographies which show  he importance of reading and literature during the course of education. 

Key words: teachers education, auto-biography, reading.
