Continuing training and professional development of teachers at higher education schools in Guinea-Bissau: expectations and training evaluation
| Resumo: | Teacher training, for any level of education, according to educational research carried out at the international level, is one of the pillars for the development of any country's educational system. In this sense, it is necessary to guarantee these professionals quality training, of a multidisciplinary nature in the most diverse dimensions of knowledge, which, in turn, requires qualified staff in Higher Education Schools (ESE) and other training institutions. This work aims to understand the expectations and how teachers evaluate the training course “Research in education – investigative dimension and professional development of teachers” offered to 16 teachers from four ESEs in Guinea-Bissau. This way it will be possible to envisage other training, outline priorities and make recommendations for the training of ESE teachers in Guinea-Bissau. This is a qualitative work, with descriptive and interpretative characteristics. To collect data, we used two questionnaires, one applied at the beginning of the course and another at the end, the answers were subject to content analysis. It should be noted that the participants had high expectations regarding the course, highlighting the relevance of the theme for their practices. On the other hand, they emphasized the need to update and deepen their knowledge. At the time of evaluation, the trainees were unanimous in recognizing the importance of training for their professional development, however, they pointed out some constraints such as the lack of resources, time and the low level of digital skills. They suggested more training so that the topic can be deepened and so that they can appropriate knowledge for their practices, as teachers and researchers. To conclude, the need to adapt the ongoing training offered according to the specificities of work contexts, in this case in Guinea-Bissau, is corroborated, and it responds to the real needs of the different educational agents, taking into account the challenges faced and contributing to the production of praxeological knowledge. |
