Formação continuada em serviço em contextos descentralizados

Abstract

Taking into consideration the importance of continuing teacher education for the educational policies and the differences and inequalities between municipalities, the aim of this text is to discuss the centrist bias using the evaluative control to implement the regime of collaboration in educational policies. Based on the managerial state reform of the 1990s, and by analysing the general guidelines and the specific aspects of this theme, we search to clarify the way the continuing teacher education policy has been developed. In the context of concrete reality, there has been a reconfiguration process between decentralization and concentration caused by the resizing of relations between the State and society in a de-concentration movement.
