The research here presented starts from the following question: how teachers trainers take part in a teacher training, having as principle the reflection on their actions, live a training based on gamified practices and the following development of an activity considering such practices? The objective of this research was to analyze the way a teacher’s training in gamification (here understood as the use of game elements in diverse situations and not necessary of games) was lived by teachers-trainers in the City School of Evaluation and Training of a city around Fortaleza. This study searched to establish a dialogue between the theoretical framework upon training teachers and gamification through the related empirical experience, guided by the theoretical conceptions around the contemporary context for continued teacher’s training – Imbernón (2009, 2010); Nóvoa (1995a, 1995b); Tardif (2002) – and around gamification – Alves, Minho and Diniz (2014); Fuchs (2014); Philippette (2014); Vianna et al. (2013); Zichermann and Cunningham (2011). It is a qualitative ethnographic- based research and counted with the participation of 07 teachers-trainers, of both sexes, working in the area of Portuguese and English Language, and also Pedagogy, in meetings that combined resulted in a 24h program. Considering that the researcher conducted the training simultaneously to the data collection process, using semi structured interviews, participant observation, video and sound data collection and field notes, the analysis process considered the intersubjectivity of the process of training and research, that evolved dialogue processes, interaction, bibliographic study and fun through gamified activities and electronic games. Specific observations were made on the way each teacher dealt, answered and applied the training in gamification. Among other important results, it was realized that there’s a fruitful possibility of convergence between gamification and teacher’s training theories, since in both areas an importance is given to the relation between theory and practice through the stimuli of interaction, dialogue, and the recognizing of the subjects personalities elements; that gamification fortifies pedagogical procedures, such as planning, demanding from teachers- trainers to mobilize their knowledges of many categories; that gamification, although not necessarily needs to happen through digital means, favors the proximity of the teachers to a world marked by digital technologies and virtual networks.
