Continuing education is a process that is linked to the professional development of a teaching career. The aim is to investigate the conception of continuing education that teachers who work with and for children have, with the intention of understanding the importance of the continuous training process, linked to research as a guiding principle for this path. Methodologically, with a qualitative approach, the research relies on empirical data, collected through a questionnaire, applied to 25 teachers who work in Early Childhood Education (preschool), whose data were analyzed using Content Analysis. It is concluded that Education, as one of the main instances in the evolution of a society, needs people, professionals and researchers who think, problematize and bring ways to strengthen it. And this process begins in the initial training of teachers and extends throughout their teaching career. Throughout this journey, research and continuing education become essential elements in the lives of these professionals, with a view to achieving quality and equitable education.

Continuing education is a process that is linked to the professional development of a teaching career. The aim is to investigate the conception of continuing education that teachers who work with and for children have, with the intention of understanding the importance of the continuous training process, linked to research as a guiding principle for this path. Methodologically, with a qualitative approach, the research relies on empirical data, collected through a questionnaire, applied to 25 teachers who work in Early Childhood Education (preschool), whose data were analyzed using Content Analysis. It is concluded that Education, as one of the main instances in the evolution of a society, needs people, professionals and researchers who think, problematize and bring ways to strengthen it. And this process begins in the initial training of teachers and extends throughout their teaching career. Throughout this journey, research and continuing education become essential elements in the lives of these professionals, with a view to achieving quality and equitable education.
