This research has as an study object the continuous training of higher education teachers in the distance education modality in active learning methodologies. As a research question, we have the following: do university teachers understand the process of continuous training in pedagogical action that motivates the use of active methodologies in practice? Our goal was to analyze a college professor's training course and debate, from their perspective, their understanding towards their pedagogical action. The approach of this research is qualitative, empirical and exploratory - it brings the thematic analysis of the data collected from one single question asked by the end of a course with 49 teachers from a federal public university. The main results found show that, despite the fact that the course has been approved by the 49 individuals under study, it is still urgent to make the continuous training of university teachers so they can understand and use active methodologies in their practice.

Keywords : Teacher training; Distance learning education; Continuing education; Active learning methodologies.
