UMA INVERSÃO DIDÁTICA NOS CURSOS DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO

Our study presents continuous teacher training as one of the possibilities of post-graduate teaching taking as a model the Educational Development Program of Parana - EDP, which offers continuous in-service training for teachers who belong to the teaching staff o f the state schools of Paraná. The EDP teachers are not inserted in post-graduate courses either in Master¿s degree study or in Doctor's degree study. They take disciplines offered at graduation level and other academic insertion activities. What leads us to clarify the continuous education through the EDP is its pedagogical principles - teaching and managerial - which represent from our point of view a didactic inversion which is one of the conditions that favor the transformation of the professional practice, perhaps the most important of them. Based on Bachelard's historical epistemology; on Habermas's theory of communicative action; and on Vygotsky's mediation category in its theory of learning, the didactic inversion we propose aims at priorizing the life experience of the social actors in education, as departure and arrival points of the collective reflection, with the guidance of the participating universities.
