It also analyzed the potential involvement of teachers of Basic Education and University researchers in the transformation of teaching practice. The methodology had a qualitative approach, and used ethnographic case studies. The data analysis indicated that for the teaching profession, professional development is key to delivering a quality teaching learning process and the need for professional development can be conceived as a collective and collaborative process, allowing teachers to construct new theories and pedagogical practices
