Evaluation of a Continuing Education Program for Basic Education Teachers

Resumo

The aim of this study is to evaluate an experience of continuing education with basic education teachers, developed in a Municipal Education Network (RME) between 2017 and 2020. The qualification of education, especially basic education, necessarily involves the relationship established with the university, given the important role it plays in teacher training, both initial and continuing. The qualitative study is based on records produced during the training experience and produces an analysis inspired by six researcher attitudes: a) Accessing, b) Sensitizing, c) Contemplating/Listening, d) Talking/Dialoguing, e) Reflecting/Pondering, f) Recording/Documenting, taken here as categories of analysis. As a result, the study points to: the exercise of attentive and committed listening of educators was instituted as a methodology that gained other spaces, becoming part of the culture of the network, enabling a constant self-formative process; the intellectual prominence as an epistemic claim of the knowledge produced in the exercise of daily teaching; the feeling of belonging to a work project that was built in the collective, made possible by creating training spaces where one learns to learn and learns to teach; the value of the act of researching and learning to make use of what science bequeaths as heritage, in the field of literature on teacher education, served as guidance to advance in the training work.
