A mudança dos professores pela investigação-acção

Abstract

The present research is about the change of teachers and questions the process of teacher education and the change process occurred during and after their action research projects. It involves four teacher education sites, integrated in programmes of Lisbon University, Faculty of Psychology and of Education Sciences, where I was implicated as educator and researcher. This paper presents the research results of the multi site case study. This research is inscribed in a complexity perspective, where there is a dialogue between research approaches, by the assumption of the problematic nature of research, subject to continual revisions. It is a dialogue based on common assumptions about the subjective and contextualised nature of problems, the continual and non-linear nature of change and the reflexive character and selfcriticism of research processes.
