Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this work was to analyze the main continuing education needs of teachers who currently work in the Unified General Baccalaureate - BGU in national educational institutions and who teach classes in subjects related to experimental sciences, whose problem focuses on the fact that teachers don't have continuous learning. A questionnaire provided by the UTPL was applied to 10 high school teachers in mathematics and physics area. This thesis has three parts: qualitative bibliographic research, field research; and, conclusions and recommendations. The methodology is statistical bibliographic, with a qualitative-quantitative approach, the methods used were: analytical, deductive, inductive, statistical, hermeneutical; the technique: the questionnaire. The results of the research showed that the vast majority of teachers would like to be trained, nevertheless, they do not do it due to factors such as: high costs, lack of support from the authorities, lack of topics of interest to them, little motivation; but they do not stop doing it autonomously. It is essential to promote and encourage continuous training of teachers in order to obtain an improvement in the quality of education.
