| Sumario: | This paper contributes to understand the non-formal learning processes that take place in the context of rural extension workers’ practices in North-eastern Argentina. The objective of this research was to understand the learning processes of extension workers that take place in the interaction among extensionists, and between them and farmers, drawing on reflexion on practice as main analytical dimension. In terms of methodology, individual interviews and focus groups were conducted with extensionists that work in the province of Corrientes in public national extension institutions. Transcriptions were analyzed with the support of Atlas.Ti software focusing on three analytical axes: learning in practice, idea of learning that extension workers have, and group work. This article recovers and highlights the importance of understanding the dynamics that characterize learning processes based on reflection on practice, having in mind extensionists’ creative activity in the context of their reflective capacity and group work. |
