Social changes today involve new paradigms in various sectors of society. Among them, there
has been a change in the education setting, as the Information and Communication Digital
Technologies (TDIC) with its several new possibilities of teaching and learning. To
understand these possibilities the teacher training area has sought to follow these new
demands with regard to initial and continuing education to subsidize teachers into these
technological resources. In this sense, the teaching knowledge base tends to be reconfigured
embracing new learning for teachers towards building autonomy, transformation and
emancipation. In this context, this study aims to understand how the participation of teachers
of a Public Higher Education Institution (IPES) in a continuing education course in distance
education, fully distance, can contribute to teaching learning, redefining the knowledge base
of these participants and targeting their professional development. For this qualitative nature
study, we have chosen a methodology developed in two stages in which data were collected.
The first one was to apply an online questionnaire, which was answered by graduates
participating in the Teacher Training Course in distance education offered by the
Coordination of Development and Professional Improvement of the General Secretariat of
Distance Education at UFSCar. In the second stage, data were taken in the virtual
environment of that course, specifically in daily activity that contains the individual narratives
posted by the participants of the course. The analyzes show that the articulation of the specific
content and the TDIC is not trivial, it is a process that needs time, support and subsequent
trials towards the achievement of the desired goals and knowledge of pedagogical and
technological content, as proposed by the TPCK model. Data indicate that the course brought
contributions to the teaching practice in the classroom and in distance learning, especially
with regard to planning, management, interaction and integration of digital technologies in the
classroom. It is believed that the duration of the course is not enough to fully attain the
process of teaching learning; on the other hand, it should be an opportunity of awareness for
teachers to reflect on such issues and considerations that should be further and continuously
developed in different learning spaces.
