Continuing Education

The study was based on the theme of teacher training and discussed this process as a means of signifying the knowledge, actions and sayings of teachers in the classroom, with an emphasis on language. Its objectives were: to identify the reasons that prevented the teachers from continuing the training process; to verify the decisive factors for returning to training; to detect the expectations that were met and those that were not met during the course; to identify the significant aspects for their work in the classroom that the course gave rise to; and to analyse the discourse on continuing training. It was based on theoretical references on teacher training and knowledge and practices with an emphasis on language. It was developed on the basis of qualitative research at the Palmira Gabriel School, located in Bel m, Par . The subjects were seven teachers who had recently graduated from the Vale do Acara State University.
