This essay debates the technological progress trends and their relation with education specially concerning the teachers´ training in the contemporary scenario. The main interest lays on the vocational and technological education and their potential social demands as well as the possible consequencies and impacts of the accelerated development and dissemination of ethereal and extracorporeal technologies on the social and particularly on the labour arena. Evolving from the theoretical and epistemological basis of the Philosophy of Technology and Jürgen Habermas works the essay provides an analytical frame designed to debate the teachers´ training considering the possibilities offered by some of the educational administration tools that may contribute to tackle today´s educational challenges. Organizational learning and communities of practice concepts are taken as fruitful approaches to improve teachers´ training.

Keywords : Vocational Education; Educational Administration; Critical Theory.
