SILVA, ANDRÉA OLIVEIRA  and  TORTELLA, JUSSARA CRISTINA BARBOZA. Teacher’s continuing education: possibility of real change or symptom of intensification?. Rev. Comunic [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.1, pp.23-40. ISSN 2238-121X.  https://doi.org/10.15600/2238-121X/comunicacoes.v23n1p23-40.

The present article intends to discuss teacher continuing education seeking to analyze how it has been configured and how it has contributed (or how it could effectively contribute) to the work developed at the school. We use the ideas addressed by Hargreaves, mainly the concept of intensification and change, both discussed by the author in the book Changing teachers changing times as the framework for this analysis. The question that guides the text can be formulated in theses terms: does teacher continued education constitute, at present, an element of the intensification of the teacher work or a real possibility for change? As an outcome, we believe that it can contribute for change, once it truly represents teacher’s needs and desires for change, which emerge from their real necessities and not as an external imposition.

Keywords : TEACHER EDUCATION; CONTINUING EDUCATION; INTENSIFICATION; CHANGE.
