RAMIREZ, Vera Lucia. Teaching in Higher Education and the constitution of professorality. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2018, vol.41, n.1, pp.41-48. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2018.1.29600.

This paper presents considerations that resulted from a study case research that was focused on continuing education of university professors currently working at a community university. The research is based on the conception of the institution of professorality as a continuous process to be considered along the personal and professional development of professors. This concept states that continuing education has to be nurtured considering the context, the knowledge, the training demands as well as the protagonism of those for whom it is intended. It indicates the opening of spaces, time and mechanisms that enable professors to outsource their needs, expectations as well as to share knowledge and pedagogical practices. It points to self-training processes and hetero-formation as methodologies to allow the consolidation of collaborative learning communities.

Palabras clave : Higher Education; Professorality; Continued Formation; Self-Formation; Hetero-Formation.
