Description

Among the many ways in which a teacher can develop him/herself professionally can be found the participation in training programmes. In this paper we will present some results of research which was intended to achieve a deeper understanding about the impact of a Program for Continuous Training in Mathematics for Portuguese Primary School Teachers on teachers’ practices and professional development. With that aim, we focus on teachers’ reflections concerning their participation in such a program and its influence in changing their practices.
