Abstract

In the last decades of the last century and, above all, in the first decades of the 21st century, there has been an increase in analyses and proposals for in-service teacher training in many countries. The need for teacher training throughout their academic life in this complex era of great changes and uncertainties, in which the dilemmas of knowledge and technology make ongoing teacher training an essential process in the professional development of teachers, is claimed and glimpsed. The article analyzes the concerns, evidences and some challenges of the theory and practice of in-service teacher training: training located in educational institutions for the development of innovation projects; relationships among teachers; emotions and attitudes, teaching complexity, communication and training with the community.
