Abstract:

Abstract It identified and analyzed possible impacts of the participation of Physical Education teachers in programs to encourage teaching in professional development in basic education schools. A qualitative research was carried out, based on semi-structured interviews with teachers licensed in Physical Education. Data analysis showed that the impacts of experiences in teaching incentive programs are related to the perception of the real role of being a teacher, with a more critical and expanded awareness of the collaborative and collective character in the thematic discussions, in the planning of teaching and research activities. It was also found that the programs influenced the teachers' recognition of the importance of continuing the training process, moving away from the comfort zone, towards the development of a series of professional skills.
