This research was performed during the probationary period in teaching while attending the course Research and Pedagogical Practice II. It was part of the 9th semester in the graduation degree of Pedagogy at Escola Normal Superior of the University of Amazonas. It was centered on the following research problem: as a contribution to science education, how could teacher education (of those teaching in the early school years) reframe the concept of teacher researcher centered on the relationship between teacher training and research? The methodological issues were based on participant research which came together with an action plan of four phases: diagnostic, design, implementation and evaluation. It showed how the education the teacher- researcher receives, could take on a new view of research that develops hand in hand with practice, and is an innovative alternative. Besides, it can contribute to the development of scientific education in teacher training processes.
