The present study aimed to comprehend the potential of a collective proposal of continuous formation, which was configured in an action of collaborative character between university and school, in the transformation of the teaching practices of Science teachers in Elementary Education. The reflection of the approximation of the teacher in the Municipal Education with researcher-teachers of specific and pedagogical contents of the Federal University of Uberlandia was analyzed, in the practices of the teacher. To comprehend in what measure this proposal facilitated the articulation between theory and teaching practices; to understand the relation established between the processes of continuous formation and the professional development of the teachers and evaluate this proposal, in what concerns its innovations, were the specific objectives. The methodological option of this research was in the domain of the qualitative approach, in its modality of Case Study of ethnographic kind. The data was obtained in questionnaires, observations and semi structured interviews. In the qualitative reading of the data, fundamented in the theoretical reference selected, reflection lines were constructed from an array of categories made, namely: the continuous formation and the professional development; the continuous formation and the possibility of reflection and transformation of teaching practices; the involvement with research teachers and the reflection on teaching practices; the continuous formation and the articulation between theory and teaching practices and the contradictions, resistances and innovations of the proposal lived. The analysis of the experiences made clear that, despite the innovations of the proposal, in the sense of promoting the development of reflexive teachers, able to understand, question and transform their practices, the teacher still maintains his/her thought inside the paradigm of the technical rationality, searching in the actions of continuous formation, a way to support technically his/her practices. Although substantial modifications have not been verified in the practices of the teachers involved in the research, since the process of incorporating the changes requires a certain time, the results signalize to an advance in the perspective of the involvement in the reflection and research of one s own practices and in the perception of the importance of continuity of one s professional development. The proposal discussed in this study showed some ways to think the continuous formation of teachers, through the partnership university-school, in a dialogical and collaborative process, with gains for both parts.
