Abstract
“Role” is a construct that emerges from
Sociality (Kelly, 1955). What can we say about the role of the constructivist
teacher? This article aims to present the Institute of Constructivist
Psychology’s teaching experience, starting from the assumption that being a
constructivist teacher is not just about applying a toolbox, but implies a role
relationship with students that changes in real time. Students are invited to
abandon passive roles and to embody the role of psychotherapists-in-training
from the first session. The class is considered as a learning community where
the psychotherapists-in-training are invited to creatively co-construe the
boundaries within which their own learning possibilities take life.
Keywords: sociality, role, teaching
corollary, learning context
