Research on the theme of teaching knowledge has shown that the complexity of events in the classroom requires more than just the mobilization of knowledge-teachers must build and reconstruct their knowledge on a daily basis. Thus, continuing education is a unique process of reframing the teacher's professional practice. The goal of this paper is to characterize the intersection between teaching knowledge and continuing education in Brazilian journals, using the method of systematic literature review. As a result, it was found that the area of mathematics is the one that makes the most use of this intersection, focusing mainly on secondary education. The studies also pointed out that the interface research between continuing education and teaching knowledge is polysemic and polyphonic, and it is not possible to identify theoretical and methodological trends.

The purpose of the paper is to present the history and format of a new graduate program in Biosciences (PPGBIO) within the Amazon region, situated on the campus of Oriximiná, located in western Para and linked to the Universidade Federal do Oeste do Pará (UFOPA). The PPGBIO is the second program in the Amazon region linked to the Committee of Biological Sciences (CBII) of CAPES, and it presents an innovative format with the co-supervision of professors from the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and Cell Biology (PNBC) at the Federal University of Para (UFPA) actingin association with the UFOPA professors. The authors first present the importance of graduate study for the development of the communities that foster it, clearly demonstrating asymmetries in relation to indexes of education and life quality in the Amazon states as compared to Brazilian states with the highest index of human development (HDI). They next indicate the path to implementing the PPGBIO in Oriximiná and Santarém, and then, finally, they discuss the results of the Interdisciplinary Program of Action (PAI) in supporting the deployment of the PPGBIO, the need to recruit students who are better prepared for graduate study, and the importance of offering to master students a graduate education of high quality, especially with respect to relationships with elementary and secondary school students.
