HARRES, João Batista Siqueira et al. CONSTITUTION AND PRACTICE OF INNOVATIVE TEACHERS: A CASE STUDY. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2018, vol.20, e2679.  Epub Apr 04, 2018. ISSN 1983-2117.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172018200107.

As part of an international research that aims to understand some processes of innovative education, this research analyzes the experiences of a group of teachers considered innovators. We gathered narratives of six teachers that work or have performed in-service teacher education programs in EPE - Experimental Pedagogic School of Bogota (Colombia). The Discursive Textual Analysis method has generated three categories: history and professional path; teaching conceptions and practice; permanent innovation. It is argued that innovative teachers are formed with the help of a conjugation of factors related with scholar and formative contexts, allied to characteristics inherent to the subjects. The sustainability of innovation would be guaranteed by reflection and continuous transformation of the teaching practice.

Keywords : Innovative education; Alternative schools; In-service teacher education.
