O estudo caracterizou-se como uma pesquisa qualitativa, sendo que os principais instrumentos para levantamento de dados foram: análise de documentos, questionário (envolvendo todas as professoras do grupo de estudos), entrevistas individuais e semiestruturadas (com quatro professoras selecionadas neste grupo) e a observação. Os dados coletados foram analisados a partir de princípios da Análise de Conteúdos. O referencial teórico que iluminou as reflexões sobre a Formação Continuada de Professores e a Inovação foi fundamentalmente baseado em autores como: Freire (1996), Nóvoa (1995), Marcelo Garcia (1995,1999), Pérez Gómez (1995, 2001), Esteves (2010), Rios (2002, 2006), Cunha (1998, 2006, 2009), Cardoso (1997) e Carbonell (2002), sem detrimento de outras contribuições. A pesquisa possibilitou identificar a relevância desta proposta de formação continuada para as professoras participantes, na medida em que viabilizou um espaço de estudo e troca de conhecimentos que oportunizou às docentes, através do processo reflexivo, ressignificar saberes que resultaram em mudanças nas suas práticas docentes. O estudo também apontou que esse processo formativo contribuiu para a formação docente das participantes sendo que os saberes construídos ainda fazem sentido em suas práticas atuais que revelaram indicadores de inovação. / The objective of this research was to analyze the repercussion of the Continuing Development course given by NUPE UNISINOS for the teaching practice of the Nursery School teachers who attended the Studies Group in São Sebastião do Caí, during the years of 2007 and 2008. The researchs character was qualitative and the main employed methodologies used to data collection were: document analyzes, questionnaire (implicating all the teachers of the Studies Group) individual, semi-structured interviews (with four selected teachers of the Studies Group) and observation. The collected data wasanalyzed using the principles of the Content Analyze. The theoretical reference that enlightened the findings of this research was based on authors like: Freire (1996), Nóvoa (1995), Marcelo Garcia (1995, 1999), Pérez Gomez (1997), Esteves (2010). Rios (2002, 2006), Cunha (1998, 2006, 2009), Cardoso (1997) and Carbonell (2002), besides some others. The research found out the importance of the Continuing Development for the participating teachers, once it created a study and knowledge sharing space. This space allowed the teachers to think about their own practice and ascribe a new meaning for it. The research also learned that this process contributed to the teachers knowledge development once the built knowledge still makes sense for their practice, indicating innovation.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relevance of School Management Training (SMT) to school practice; present an overview of SMT in Zimbabwe; and identify and analyse relevant SMT models to school headship. The research methods involved a literature study of primary and secondary sources, as well as an empirical situation analysis of SMT in Zimbabwe. The secondary sources comprised books, journals, research dissertations and thesis. The primary sources comprised official circulars, courses outlines the B.Ed (EAPPS) degree programme and the Heads Training Support Programme (HTSP) modules. The knowledge drawn from these sources was the basis for developing appropriate models for SMT. The empirical situation analysis comprised the use of questionnaires and interviews to examine the content, typology, the modes of SMT in Zimbabwe, as provided by a sample of 218 randomly selected school heads in Bulawayo, Matabeleland North and South regions. Personal and group interviews were conducted with selected school heads. The findings revealed the following strengths of SMT in Zimbabwe:  Induction SMT is offered to newly-appointed school heads in order to inspire their confidence in leadership.  Various forms of continuing on-site SMT on-the-job training opportunities to school heads.  Whilst off-site SMT workshops inculcate skills from school headship experience, SMT conferences and seminars run by heads' professional associations cater for SMT needs of school heads. Weaknesses of SMT in Zimbabwe exposed by the study involve:  Lack of SMT newsletters to encourage self-induction  Lack of institutional provision for the smooth co-ordination of SMT  Little involvement of university experts in non-formal SMT A tripartite collaborative SMT model which integrates self-development, university tuition and HTSP tuition is recommended. For the smooth operation of the model a dedicated institute for SMT is recommended. Any further research study, local or in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, should investigate the feasibility of a tripartite collaborative model and the dedicated institute in SMT. / Educational Studies / D.Ed.
