Resumen

El artículo se centra en la visión de los profesores de inglés sobre su plan de desarrollo profesional continuo, empelando los resultados de una encuesta aplicada a 56 entrenados cubanos y 15 ecuatorianos que formaron parte del estudio. El principal objetivo es reflexionar sobre la experiencia de la preparación de los profesores en los contextos cubano y ecuatoriano, a través de la identificación de lo que los profesores consideran forma parte de su plan de desarrollo profesional continuo, tomando como base sus necesidades e intereses. Los resultados principales muestran que la mayoría de los profesores piensan en incorporarse a las actividades de desarrollo continuo después de haber sido cuestionados sobre su asistencia a este tipo de sesiones.
