Abstract

This text presents an autobiographical and reflective account by a professor-researcher at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT), whose academic journey intertwines with the institutional history of Scientific Initiation. While organizing the commemorative dossier for the 20th anniversary of the Scientific Initiation Seminar (SIC) of the Institutional Program for Scientific Initiation Scholarships (PIBIC), the author revisits his teacher education path, understanding it as a continuous process of practice, reflection, and transformation, as advocated by Paulo Freire.The author recounts his trajectory from entering higher education at FURG, through multiple academic paths in education, language, and physical education, to becoming a faculty member at UFT. He highlights his engagement in teaching, research, outreach, and university management, as well as his role in creating the Physical Education program at UFT and participating in initiatives such as PNAIC, Redação MIL, the Pedagogical Innovation Program, CEPELS, and the REDE CEDES. Reflecting on scientific initiation and its importance in student development, the author comes to understand research as an extension of lived experiences in teaching and outreach. The creation of the dossier required not only the systematization of institutional data but also a return to his own academic trajectory, marked by challenges, resistance, and achievements, including mentoring graduate students and facing discrimination due to his identity and sexual orientation.The narrative underscores the role of art, interculturality, and education as liberating and humanizing practices. By weaving together experiences, affections, and formative practices, the author reaffirms his ethical commitment to teaching and highlights SIC as a driving force in the formation of new researchers. He concludes by valuing plurality, empathy, and the collective construction of knowledge as key principles of his pedagogical approach.
