Organización y Estructura de la Formación Docente Continua en Salta: Dependencias, Políticas y Estrategias (2020-2023)

Abstract

This paper presents preliminary advances of the Salta Node of the national project PICTO-2022 REDES, which analyses the policies of Continuing Teacher Education in Argentina between 2020 and 2023. It focuses on the institutional organisation, regulatory frameworks and jurisdictional strategies developed in the province of Salta, in a context marked by the effects of the pandemic.

Progress has been made in the creation of a specific General Directorate, the development of regulatory norms and the expansion of free training, mainly at the compulsory levels. However, structural tensions persist, such as the fragmentation of the system, inequality between educational levels - in particular, the postponement of the higher education level - and a logic of accreditation focused on obtaining points.

From a critical and situated approach, it is proposed to advance towards comprehensive Continuing Teacher Education policies that articulate the different levels of the system, recognise the diversity of the teaching profession and promote reflective, collaborative and transformative practices. The study underlines the need to build a pedagogy of teacher professional development anchored in the territory, aimed at strengthening public education and recognising teachers as active subjects in their training.
