In the last few years, teacher training have occupied a prominent place on educational
reforms. Resolution 2/2015 of the National Council of Education contains, in its guidelines,
the understanding that the continuous training must have, as its main purpose, the discussion
of teacher’s educational practice. This purpose has encouraged the professionalization of
teachers, as a way for teacher’s development, whose professional attitude is based on building
knowledge. This perspective requires that the continuous teacher training use specific training
mechanisms that establish closer relations with teaching practice in the professional field.
Under such considerations, this research sought to comprehend how professional
development processes of teachers of Educação Básica occur in an university extension
course. Thus, the research aimed to investigate the professional development processes in the
work of Educação Infantil and Ensino Fundamental 1 teachers, taking into consideration the
reflection as the key element of the continuous training, as well as identifying the elements
from the continuous training that benefit teacher’s professional practice and analyzing what
teachers comprehend about the reflection process of the practice. The research from the
qualitative type, from intrinsic case study type, analyzed an university extension course
inserted in a project that has existed for fourteen years at Unesp from Rio Claro, called Escola
de Educadores. Among data collection tools were the observation of the course, document
analysis of 2017 course’s project and other documents concerning the constitution and the
path of Projeto Escola de Educadores, productions made by the participants of the research,
questionnaire and semistructure interview with the participants of the research: seven teachers
working in Educação Infantil and in Ensino Fundamental 1, in schools of the city of Rio Claro
– SP. With the theoretical basis of authors such as Marcelo Garcia, Maurice Tardif, António
Nóvoa, Isabel Alarcão and Paulo Freire and after the reports from research participant
teachers, the study revealed that in spite of the proletarianization of teachers due to the lack of
time to do continuous training, teachers made an effort to take part in the researched course,
which proved a greater commitment with their own training. Through participation in the
course Escola de Educadores, we comprehended that sharing ideas with peers, the search for
association between theory and practice, the research behaviour through work with projects,
the use of new digital tools and the creation of strategies in order to help school routine were
some of the elements from the continuous training that provided the reflection of the practice
for teachers and benefited their practice and professional development. The partnership
between the university and the school, which values the knowledge of teachers, was one of
the important aspects of the researched course. The experience in question may offer
profitable paths for teacher training because it has in its basis the reflection exercise and
analysis of teaching practice, dialogue with others, professional resignification, valorization of
knowledge of the practice and protagonism in the formation process, change of professional
behaviour and the valorization of pedagogical autonomy.
