| Summary: | This work describes the results of the experience in continuous online training of teachers in the MATICE (Methodologies for Educational and Information and Communication Technology-based Learning) program. This experience was centered on the pedagogical relationship in which the action of the educator becomes decisive. Updating teachers takes on strategic importance for the university in a scenario of constant educational and social changes. The study was carried with 3 classes of teachers from the PUCPR continuous training course in 2006. The procedures adopted for the study were as follows: a review of the literature; building, implementing and following up the project to train teachers in the MATICE program; drawing up and applying the questionnaires; and analysis and discussion of the data obtained. It was decided for this research to carry out a case study. The results of this study show that the continuous teacher training experience was relevant and able to respond to the demands imposed by a new knowledge society; furthermore, it represents a possible way forward for virtual education in PUCPR. |
