DIAZ SOTO, Jenny Zoraya et al. Lifelong learning in teaching: a cornerstone for the education of the future. Revista InveCom [online]. 2025, vol.5, n.1, e501013.  Epub Nov 18, 2024. ISSN 2739-0063.  https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10929137.

This study examines teachers' perception and experience with continuing education, using a quantitative methodology with surveys applied to 51 teachers from different educational levels. Participation in training programs, areas of interest, barriers to participation, and impact on teaching practice were investigated. The results indicate a high valuation of continuing education, with 86.3% participating and 88.2% reporting positive changes in their practice as a result of this training. The main areas of interest are innovative methodologies and the use of technologies. However, barriers such as lack of time, high costs, and lack of information about the programs were identified. The study concludes that lifelong learning is crucial for professional development and educational improvement, highlighting the need to overcome existing barriers to facilitate access to these opportunities.

Keywords : continuing education; teacher professional development; pedagogical innovation.
