This paper presents the findings of a study into the application process of the professional standards (PS) qualification in Estonia, which is a standard used to identify the level of professionalism of a teacher. The study collected the views of active teachers who have applied for the PS and those of the assessors to understand the shortcomings in the application and the expectations for the application process. The main challenges identified are that teachers lack respective skills to adequately comprehend qualification requirements (unambiguous interpretation of PS) and the lack of evidence-based performance indicators (difficult to prove) and weak self-analysis skills; hence, the teacher needs assistance. The research found that teachers need collaborative support, motivation and constructive feedback on their professional development (PD), both from colleagues and at school and national levels. Based on this research, it can be said that teachers who have gone through the application process have gained greater self-confidence, value themselves as teachers and continue their in-service training.

ABSTRACT Qualitative study that aimed to analyze the discourse of 15 district managers about knowledge and information related to the transfer of the Directly Observed Treatment of Tuberculosis policy in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The empiric material, collected in May and June 2013 through interviews, was analyzed according to Michel Pêcheux's Discourse Analysis. Despite contradictions, misunderstandings and silences observed in some discourse about this policy, the interviewees value the matricial support and the shared discussions involving the professionals, the management and the users, with emphasis on the rearrangement of the service in operating the Directly Observed Treatment of Tuberculosis. The need for investments in professional qualification is clear, with a view to refining the work process through the reorientation of practices from the perspective of continuing education, which represents a strong device for the exchange of knowledge and innovative proposals with a view to effective tuberculosis control.
