Its specific objectives are: to characterize pedagogical problems with regard to Arts teaching, with emphasis on their origin and how teachers solve them; to understand the connection that these teachers establish with regard to the multivalence of artistic languages; and to relate these issues with the professional life cycle with the aspect of motivation and demand for the realization of the different modalities of continuing training. The research is configured in a qualitative - descriptive approach. The instruments used to collect qualitative data were 30 questionnaires with closed questions and 10 semi-structured interviews.
