Abstract

Continuing teacher education is a frequent theme in the literature. However, studies aimed to analyze teachers, their motivation and learning as a student are scarce. This article reports results of a self-reflective intervention program for teachers, on motivation to learn, conducted in a dual focus: the teacher as a student and as a teacher. The sample consisted of twenty-seven elementary school teachers divided into two groups: experimental and control. The data were collected by qualitative and self-reflective instruments. The intervention increased teachers’ self-awareness not only about their motivation and learning, but also about their pedagogical practices, besides expanding their knowledge about motivational theories.
