Abstract

This critique involves a descriptive and interpretative analytical exercise that explores the validity, importance and necessity of redefining the teacher’s pedagogical know-how, inasmuch as it is fundamental knowledge for teaching practice. The analysis involves initial considerations about knowledge in general and the characterization of pedagogical know-how in particular, the idea being to situate the analysis in a specific field; namely, that of Foucault’s archeology. Several relationships are addressed succinctly, specifically ones that are connatural between pedagogical know-how and power (as a manifestation of human relations), and are woven into the act of teaching. A brief inventory of the elements that make up pedagogical know-how is provided as well. The exercise ends by asking if it is the teacher who is the master custodian, possessor, builder and rebuilder of that know-how.
