Abstract

The present work has as topic the perceptions of teacher training, specifically on the topic routine, of pre-school teachers in the municipality of João Pessoa, in the state of Paraíba, as part of the continued formation “Knowledge and Practices in/from Early Childhood Education,” held at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) between 2022 and 2023. This study has as main objective to understand continued teacher training and the perception of routine, based on the analysis of the training on the topic and a questionnaire about the teachers' perceptions. Additionally, it aims to identify the content used in the continued training; investigate the relevance of routine in the construction of children's knowledge, and verify whether the teachers' pedagogical practices were altered or not after their participation in the project. To achieve this, the methodology used was qualitative research, and for data collection, a questionnaire was made available via WhatsApp, so that the pre-school teachers could answer to. The data obtained were analyzed based on the authors who address the themes discussed throughout this research, specifically: continued teacher training, time/temporality, routine and/or daily life, the envirinment organization, and the school setting. Addressing numerous aspects of teaching, training, and routine, the results of this research portrayed that continued training is important for teachers, as it provides them with opportunities to modify their pedagogical practices, and it is also important for children because, from the moment their teacher learn the new ideas, they can better contribute to the teaching-learning process. By the end of the questionnaire analysis, it was concluded that the practices of most teachers were indeed altered after their participation in the continued training project.
