Abstract
QUEIROZ, Vanderleida R. de Freitas e. The formation of teachers in national and international research: trends and challenges. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.1, pp.109-127. ISSN 0101-7136. https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v38i1.18777.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss teacher formation using the contribution of national and international research on the subject as a basis. The text shows that there is discussion about the importance of formation and how it distances itself from political and formative practices. It also analyzes the trends seen in research about what should constitute a teacher formation program, highlighting issues involving teachers' knowledge and ideal formative environments, and how such trends are challenges to be faced in the spheres of policy formulation, teacher formation programs and teacher practice.
