Reflections on Teacher Training: Challenges and Possibilities

Abstract

This study aims to understand the contribution of the discipline: Education, Teacher Training and Educational Practices in the initial and continuing education of teachers. The study in question summarizes the record of mandatory and complementary readings, seminars and discussions held in the classes. The process of constructing teachers' knowledge has in the initial training its basis of support and in the continuous formation its consolidation, constituting the classroom not only as a teaching space, but also of learning on the part of the teacher, that is, a rich space for the development of both formative and investigative practices. The systematic review of scientific production, articles of mandatory and complementary readings, indicates that these emerge from the concern with initial and continuing education, as well as with the professional development of teachers and educational policies.
