FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA DOS PROFESSORES DE ENSINO RELIGIOSO: PRÁTICAS E EXPERIÊNCIAS A PARTIR DE FORMAÇÕES INICIAIS DIVERSAS NUMA ESCOLA DE CARIACICA-ES

Abstract

When we explore the technicality of the Elementary School Religious Education teacher in the state of Espírito Santo, we come across initial training that is shallow and insufficient for mastering teaching; continued training far from the school reality, teachers admitting that they were not properly instructed in their area of expertise, neglected in their pedagogical practices in the classroom. This research investigated in an exploratory manner the continued initial training of Religious Education teachers in Elementary School at a school in the city of Cariacica-ES. In this way, this study had the general objective of contributing to reflection and discussion about a new vision of the continued training of Religious Education teachers who work in Elementary Education in the Brazilian educational system. To achieve this, qualitative field research was carried out at EMEF “Jacqueline Sodré” located in the municipality of Cariacica, in which semi-structured interviews were carried out with seven teachers from the institution. The aforementioned procedure aimed to answer the following question: How was the initial and continuing training of Religious Education teachers in Elementary School at EMEF Jacqueline Sodré developed? As a result, it was possible to verify, based on the responses of the interviewed teachers, evidence of a reformulation in their graduation and in their continuing education.
