Epistemology of practice in continuous teacher training of Agulhas Negras Military Academy

Abstract

The aim of this article is to discuss issues that involve the epistemology of practice in continuous teacher training in a military institution of higher education. An exploratory applied research with a qualitative approach was intended, as it is a bibliographic and documentary research. Its objective lies in the possibility of presenting concepts and actions taken by the institution that focus on the professional development of teachers within the Brazilian Army (EB). We attempted to emphasize the in-service training, its specificities, concepts and conditions that involve education in a military environment, more precisely, at the Agulhas Negras Military Academy (AMAN), locus of the research. The continuous training of higher education teachers, within this context, is analyzed from the perspective of his/her experience as a training process. This article is the result of researches that were carried out by graduates of the Master’s in Education Program accredited by the University of Taubaté (UNITAU).
