THE RELEVANCE OF CONTINUING EDUCATION ON THE PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Abstract

This study addresses the importance of continuing education for early childhood education teachers and how it influences the quality of teaching. Starting from the questioning of the impact of this training on pedagogical practices, the research used a bibliographic approach based on authors such as Pizzani (2012), Goldenberg (2009) and Denzin and Lincoln (2006). The results indicate that continuing education is essential for the professional development of educators and for the improvement of the quality of teaching, especially in a world in constant transformation, marked by the advancement of technologies and social changes. The study points out that even a simple update of content or methodologies can generate significant impacts on school daily life, promoting more effective pedagogical practices and contributing to the educational success of students. Thus, the need to continuously invest in the training of early childhood education teachers is reinforced as an indispensable element to ensure the development of teaching skills and excellence in teaching.
