ABSTRACT
In Laura’s response we perceive an expression of her ‘disapproval’ of the conservative and positivist conception of history, which in turn allows the possibility of constructing other conceptions not only in history but in mankind, society and pedagogic practice as well. One can find in her testimony the awareness of a certain need of theory renewal justified in the words ‘continues to be’. From this standpoint, it cannot be inferred that the teacher suspects at any given moment that the difficulty in the act of learning she confronts may belong to the process of knowledge itself, in a double sense: in structure and contents.
