TAMBARUSSI, Carla Melli  and  KLUBER, Tiago Emanuel. Teachers' education in Mathematical Modeling in an Educational Development Program of Paraná, EDP. Ciência educ. [online]. 2017, vol.23, n.4, pp.851-866. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320170040007.

This article seeks to present and discuss reflections about the phenomenon teachers' education in Modeling from teachers who are former students of EDP. These reflections consisted of the interpretation of the data (interview and observation of the classes) of eight teachers who participated to the Educational Development Program (EDP) of Paraná State and used Mathematical Modeling in their implementation projects. These reflections point to weaknesses with the teachers' education, as well as aspects taken as fundamental in the teachers' education, but which need to be questioned: "adequate teacher education requires a longer time"; "The teachers' education that involves pedagogical practices ensures changes in the classroom". Thus, different reflections are significant that the teachers' education in Modeling can advance and contribute to the permanence of Modeling in the educational field.

Keywords : Continuing teachers' education; Mathematics education; Phenomenology; Educational Development Program; Mathematics modeling.
