Abstract

This article presents a Training Diary as a strategy for professional training under the framework of a thoughtful practice. As such, it is a tool that allows access to knowledge through narrative thinking, favoring the organization of experience by integrating cognitive, affective, and practical aspects. This work proposes a necessary dialogue between narrative and logical-scientific thinking, while exposing the theoretical foundations of the Diary as well as some suggestions for its implementation.
