Teaching has been considered by many researchers and teachers as a subject of little value. This trend is related to the fact of considering it simply as a method or instrument. However, some researchers have also thought about the problem of teaching and learning in the classroom and have been generating new proposals. This article presents such reflections from the initial proposals of Comenius, to watching educational settings as a way to study and systematize knowledge for teaching. It is hoped that these reflections of this article’s authors, based on teachers and researchers, will be useful for generating new perspectives on readers. This reflection invites to researching on instructional practices in their contexts, so that teaching is also a discipline for social intervention.
