SUMMARY:

This study investigated educators, professionals from the pedagogical team and managers perceptions on teachers´ creativity, in a continuous education context. The potential of this space for individual and group development is recognized, once one may observe practices that are collaborative and dialogical, as well as interactions and exchanges among professionals. These interactions influence collaborative practices and are influenced by them; confront ideas and actions; and mobilize personal and social, internal, and external resources to achieve objectives. Therefore, this research was carried out in a pu-blic school in Brasília - Federal District, in the early years of elementary school, and it was developed in two stages. The observation stage was carried out during continuous education meetings, with the presence of 24 school professionals. The interview stage included a sample of 10 professionals from the management and pedagogical teams, and teachers. The general objective of the thesis was to investigate the perception of professionals from the management/pedagogical team and teachers on teacher's creativity in the context of continuous education, as well as the potential emergence of creativity during communication among these professionals. The specific objectives were: a) Investigate tea-chers' perception in relation to the incentive to their creativity in the context of continuous education; b) Investigate the perception of professionals from the management/pedagogical team regarding the incentive they eventually promote to teachers' creativity in the context of continuous education; c) Analyze the potential emergence of teachers' creativity during communication situations between ma-nagers and teachers. Thus, a qualitative research approach of an exploratory and descriptive nature was applied, in which we sought to understand creativity in its collective sense, without underestima-ting individual creativity, but seeing creativity as a spread phenomenon, which connects people to other people, to their community and the world. The following research strategies were used: semi-structured interviews, observation, and a field diary. Thematic analysis was adopted, as it allows fle-xibility in identifying, analyzing and reporting patterns (themes) within qualitative data. The results of the study indicate that the continuous education environment can contribute to teacher´s creativity, and open space for a closer look at the collaborative practices that take place within this process. In the case of the investigated context, creativity is stimulated, mainly, driven by an action that goes from the individual level to a collective construction and, therefore, the environment, which will again feed in-dividual action. Dialogue appeared as the main form of communication, potentially capable of boos-ting individual and collective action, driven by intentions that add up and strengthen themselves during the regular, everyday school life. However, one may not disregard challenges related to the teacher and the environment.
