dc.description	<p>This study was carried out with a group of three teachers who work for the foreign languages department of a private university in Colombia. It was aimed at unveiling and characterizing the narrative knowledge these teachers hold about language teaching and learning processes as well as the role this knowledge plays in the constant construction and evaluation of curriculum. Data were collected through concept maps, biodata surveys, narrative interviews, and participant observation within a narrative inquiry approach to research. Findings show the crucial need to value and explore teachers’ knowledge from a narrative perspective in order to better understand the complexity of the teaching context in which they work.</p><p>Este proyecto de investigación se realizó con un grupo de tres profesores que laboran en el Departamento de Lenguas de una universidad privada de Colombia. El objetivo fue develar y caracterizar el conocimiento narrativo de los participantes en relación con la enseñanza y aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera y el papel de dicho conocimiento en la construcción y evaluación del currículo. Se recolectaron datos mediante mapas conceptuales, encuestas, entrevistas narrativas y observación de clases, en el marco de una metodología de la investigación de tipo narrativo. Los resultados muestran la necesidad de valorar y explorar el conocimiento de los docentes, desde una perspectiva narrativa, y con el fin de comprender mejor la complejidad del contexto en donde laboran.</p>
