1. "Reflection and inquiry are key components of teacher development. The skills of self-inquiry and critical thinking are seen as central for continued professional growth, and can help teachers more beyond a level where they are guided largely by impulse, intuition or routine" (Richards, 1998:p.21)
ReplyDelete2. "Al considerar la extrema complejidad del mundo contemporáneo, los vertiginosos cambios históricos y socioculturales que, a su vez, modifican los escenarios de todas las instituciones e impactan en las subjetividades, la formación continua que se demanda a docentes y a otros profesionales del sistema educativo requiere nuevos paradigmas y nuevos aportes teóricos para sostener y desarrollar las funciones de enseñar, seguir aprendiendo, orientar y acompañar tutorialmente" (Müller,2008:p.57)
3. "La proletarización del trabajo implica una serie de aspectos diferentes. El principal de ellos es, evidentemente la pérdida de habilidad u oficio o de conocimiento tradicional. Se trata de un proceso continuo que puede experimentar cambios repentinos y movimientos bruscos, dependiendo del cambio tecnológico y de sus aplicaciones, de la naturaleza del proceso de producción y de la ideología e historia de la fuerza laboral" (Lawn & Ozga, 2004:p.33)

Hi, here there are the definitions I found:
ReplyDelete1. “Effective professional development should be understood as a job-embedded commitment that teachers make in order to further the purpose of the profession while addressing their own particular needs.

IMBERNÓN (1994:12) “en el ámbito de la formación permanente dirigida a la población docente (La formación permanente psicopedagógica), los términos más utilizados son educación permanente, formación permanente, formación continua profesional, formación en ejercicio, formación técnico–profesional, perfeccionamiento del profesorado, reciclaje y, en momentos de cambios profundos en los sistemas educativos, algunos países utilizan el término reconversión”.
Díaz-Maggioli (2004:5) “Effective professional development should be understood as a job-embedded commitment that teachers make in order to further the purposes of the profession while addressing their own particual needs”.
