HOBOLD, Márcia de Souza  and  MATOS, Silvia Simão de. Formação continuada: o processo de incorporação das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação no trabalho do professor universitário. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2010, vol.10, n.30, pp.317-333. ISSN 1981-416X.

The continuing teacher formation is a process that passes by the professional life of the professor and is present in both, the formal spaces of learning and the reflexive experiences related to the teaching professional activities. Bearing in mind this theme, the current article presents the results of a research that had the aim to study the process of a university teacher’s professional development due to the use of the new information and communication technologies (ICT) in her teaching work. The collection of data has contemplated: 1) the identification of different aspects related to the professor’s development in personal, social and professional contexts; 2) the story of the main changes presented in her practice from the use of the ICT; and 3) the recognition of the internal and external involved stimuli in the changing process, taking into consideration the use of technological tools. The investigated teacher, identified here as ANA, has been working for 54 years and, in 33 of these, as a superior teacher educator. The research has been based on Huberman (1992), Vygotsky (1993, 2000), Lévy (1997), Romanowski (2007), Santos (2002) and Nóvoa (2000). The results have pointed to the influence of the constituted signification in personal and professional scope, highlighting characteristics such as constant learning, and permanent investment in her teaching work, performance focused on the student, and study and development of innovative strategies for the teaching-learning process. The work of this teacher educator is permeated by the abstraction and generalization of apprehended concepts in social, cultural and historical interactions. The professor has demonstrated that, apart from age, she continues investing in the constitution of her teaching profissionality.
