Aprendizagem Profissional Docente em uma Comunidade Investigativa: a Pesquisa da Própria Prática e o Desenvolvimento Profissional de uma Formadora

Results are presented from a research of own practice developed in the post-doctoral process, with the participation of an Inquiry Community, with the aim of understanding professional learning and contributions to the professional development of Teacher Educator’s. The aim was to answer: “How did participation in an investigative community contribute to a professional development of a Teacher Educator’s?” The research is of a qualitative nature, with an interpretative paradigm and was carried out through observation and active participation in the inquiry community, where the teacher education process took place. It was concluded that different perspectives and practical approaches, adopted in teacher education processes, when shared and experienced in an inquiry community, boost “metacognitive reflection”, the change of beliefs and professional teaching learning about the nature of teaching and learning in mathematics.
