FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA: UM ESTUDO DAS FORMAÇÕES OFERTADAS NA REDE ESTADUAL DE ENSINO EM CAMPO GRANDE, MATO GROSSO DO SUL

Abstract

This article is part of this author's master's research, and aims to present a discussion about the specific continuing education for Geography teachers on the State Education System of Mato Grosso do Sul, at state schools located in the capital, Campo Grande, understanding that it should enable transformations in the teaching pedagogical practice, since it constitutes a permanent process of construction of pedagogical knowledge, helping teachers to improve their practices. As methodological procedures, in a qualitative approach, we present a bibliographical and documental analysis, having as sources texts and researches that deal with the theme, official statistical data, curriculum used in the continuing education of Geography teachers, projects aimed at these formations, both from the Ministry of Education and from the State Department of Education of Mato Grosso do Sul, and an interview with the superintendent of the Center for Continued Training (CFOR). Subsequently, questionnaires were used in order to understand the difficulties pointed out by the Geography teachers who work for that state system, as well as their perceptions in relation to continuing education actions. The time frame adopted for data analysis are the years 2015 to 2020, in order to verify how continuing education took place in the last half of this decade. As a result, it was possible to understand the complexity of factors that influence the pedagogical practices of Geography teachers, and the understanding that the Secretary of Education has not offered specific training for the curricular components, on the case of this article, Geography.
