SILVA, Maria Abádia da. Teacher formation as seen by eu education ministers and heads of State. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.2, pp.407-427. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v38i2.26132.

This article discusses the political order which gave rise to the European Space for Higher Education and teacher formation established therein in the light of the European Commission Communication, approved documents and resolutions published in the EU Official Gazette which led to a model of education and formation of professionals for the member states focused on ongoing learning, which proposes to convert the university and the school into service agencies. It analyzes the cycle of conferences of ministers and heads of state, the strategic planks, basic skills, abilities and aptitudes required of students in order to bring school and business closer together, and develop an entrepreneurial spirit in people at all levels. It also points out that during the process, teacher formation is associated with a type of conservative economic growth in which flexibility, employability, competitiveness, individualism, efficiency, digital culture and rationality are seen as assumptions underlying educational policy and practice.

Keywords : Teacher Formation; Education and Formation in the ESHE; Educational Policy.
