Perspectives about teacher training

Abstract

The following presentation is part of the research project in which we have started working, called Professional training and practice: Necessary articulations, which aims at contributing on the improvement of university teaching practices devoted to the training of future teachers. We propose that the challenge for the trainers of teachers is to prepare students to face the changing, uncertain, and complex contemporary society, identifying the preparation of teachers with a radical transformation of the traditional ways of teaching. Regarding this, we intend to focus on the articulation of spaces between the University and the cotraining institutions, which receive students in a pre-professional practice situation, identifying traits attributed to the teaching task and perspectives that the teachers who receive them have about this task. We maintain that what we have identified as formas y preformas are developing ways of saying, acting and outlining a teaching task in continuous transformation. We, teachers and researchers who actively participate on teacher training have to collaborate in the construction of the meaning of being a teacher.
