¡SI TE ATREVES A ENSEÑAR, NUNCA DEJES DE APRENDER!

RESUMEN El docente cumple un papel fundamental en el cambio del sistema educativo peruano. Dentro de ello la formacion continua docente debe cumplir una serie de requisitos que le permitan articular la practica, las necesidades de sus alumnos y la problematica de la sociedad en general. La formacion continua debe ser entendida como un proceso permanente de adquisicion,estructuracion y reestructuracion de conductas (conocimientos, habilidades, valores).Por tanto, los programas de formacion continua docente deben responder a los grandes objetivos nacionales y a las necesidades y derechos personales de los alumnos. Alli reside el desafio de que las propias escuelas sean quienes planteen las iniciativas y posibilidades de control sobre la formacion continua de sus docentes. Palabras claves: educacion, formacion continua, politicas educativas y practica docente. ABSTRACT The teacher fulfills a fundamental role in the change of the Peruvian educational system.
