Linking teaching and research: establishing a proposal for training polytechnic school faculty

Based on the experience of a teacher training program entitled Program for Continuing Education of Polytechnic Faculty (PAETEC) developed by the Escola Politécnica de Saúde Joaquim Venâncio (EPSJV/FIOCRUZ), this article is intended to contribute to the discussion of alternatives for continuing vocational teacher education programs. In the search for new on-the-job teacher training models fostering interaction between the educational process and research activity, the experience employs a strategy based on the construction of an integrated methodology allowing teachers to reflect on their own practices and turn them into the object of their research.
