The elementary school and teachers work qualification: challenges and perspectives of the professional master's program in Education

ABSTRACT In this article, we present a debate about teachers’ continuous formation in the professional masters’ degree and, to do so, we outline the following question: is there really the necessary call for an implied conversation between elementary school and teachers work qualification? To answer this question, we use data from a professional post-graduate program in Education. The reflections can help to understand this formative context regarding the challenges and perspectives that permeate the teachers work qualification, professional development, the research demands determined by the teachers of elementary schools and the partnership between university and school.
