Abstract
VEZUB, Lea Fernanda. Notas para pensar una genealogía de la formación permanente del profesorado en la Argentina. RMIE [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.42, pp.911-937. ISSN 1405-6666.
Teaching, teacher education, and lifelong learning have been the favored focus of intervention for educational policies and administrations, particularly during the most recent curriculum reforms in the region. These reforms positioned teacher professionalization and ongoing improvement at center stage. Such a situation, along with the small number of specific research studies on the topic, produced an instrumental conception of training. Since such a conception is generally rooted in policies and practices more than in theory, the possibilities for constructing an autonomous field of knowledge have been limited. This article proposes reviewing the historical background of professional teacher development and the obstacles for configuring the field. Lastly, it looks at current problems and new tendencies that are debated in studies, policies, and teachers' experiences of development and lifelong learning.
