The training of teachers has been, universally, a recurring theme of study and reflection. Perhaps the most discussed topics in the research field of educational sciences. It constitutes an inexhaustible possibility and often revisited, given that accompanies the visions and social changes, cultural and economic in society. As teaching is characterized as a socially nested profession and affected by political and cultural values, is produced in dependence on understandings that guide contextual educational projects. For some time, given the weakness of traditional formats, characterized by exogenous perspective, teacher education has been demanding his return to the bosom of the profession, valuing the relationship education and work and the potentiation the experience of the subjects in their own training, basic characteristic of adult learning. No longer seen only as an individual process, movements and propositions are established assuming the basis of the work as a space / place of training.

This is the position advocated in this essay affirming that adult education is valued when the modalities into this direction favor the capacity of actors in organizations, to produce their own knowledge and that is the case of teachers.
