Keywords:
Teacher training; Continuous formation of teachers; Professional teacher development.Abstract
For decades, proposals for the continuous development of teachers have influenced the approach to education globally. However, not all efforts for improvement by educational institutions show the desired effects. This article seeks to evidence how peer coaching can be an alternative tool for the professional development of teachers in service. The paper provides an initial overview of the origins of peer coaching, subsequently defining and describing this methodology, which is then followed by a compilation and examination of theoretical frameworks of existing research. Based on the evaluation of the outcomes of the research this article defends peer coaching as a promising alternative for professional teacher development.
