Description
Summary:The continuing education of teachers has become a compulsory <br />subject in our time. There is a consensus among teachers and <br />school leaders regarding the need to "educate the educators", <br />because the rational knowledge learned in the process of formation <br />of teachers is not sufficient to face the complexity and the diversity <br />of the problems that the teachers' work demands. It is necessary <br />and urgent, in any area from education, to reflect about the new <br />forms of exercising the skills needed for the professional practice. <br />In regards to teaching, reflecting in and about the practice enables <br />the educator to reconsider their own performance. The focus of this <br />essay is to analyze the continuing education of teachers from the <br />paradigm of the reflective teacher.<br /><br />KEYWORDS: Reflective teacher, Formative process, Educational <br />policies.
