Accompaniment in the Classroom. A Contribution to Continuing Education - María de la Luz Marqués Rosa - Bog

Introducing classroom accompaniment is a necessity for improving the quality of teaching and teachers' practices, which will only be met if the strategy is institutionalized in the school, thus becoming a true instance of self-improvement. The purpose of this research is to identify the factors that, as a result of classroom monitoring, favor positive changes in the pedagogical practices of a group of five teachers, in order to build a feasible proposal to be implemented in other schools based on the results. This study is a case study, ascribed to the qualitative paradigm, with a phenomenological design. It is based on the observation of the individual experiences of the participants. The findings show that classroom accompaniments favor positive changes in pedagogical practices, teachers value the instance, although certain prejudices persist in them related to the punitive nature attributed to this practice of teacher evaluation.
