Research and consolidation of the knowledge on teacher training: the doublo NEFOP challenge

Abstract

The research group Nefop (Center for study, research and teacher training), has like mission to promote studies, research and develop actions on and for training and teaching work, with the aim of contributing to the consolidation of research on the training of teachers in the interior of Bahia. The group has been developing research and extension events subsidized by internal and external institutional financing and in collaboration with other research groups. Among the research carried out by the Nucleus, this text will highlight those related to teacher education policies, with emphasis on the evaluation of the special training programs developed in the country in the last two decades. From these surveys it is possible to affirm that in the institutions of higher education involved with these actions, the immediacy and the improvisation predominate; that the governing bodies of public policies, in general, are not clear about their responsibilities in the collaboration regime, with the responsibility of teachers to remain in training. These, in turn, feel satisfied with the certification received and the resulting professional and salary valorization.
