Abstract (EN): This study aims to identify the best professional development models for a group of Portuguese crèche educators. It seeks to learn their preferences regarding formats, themes and types of professional development activities, and the conditions under which video-feedback may be more relevant to them. Interviews were conducted with 26 participants, after they watched videos of their practices in a real-life context. The results show that the use of video is considered a potentially relevant tool for reflection, improvement and strengthening of professional practice, and that it is necessary to ensure its proper framework. The results also show other preferences of this group of educators, offering clues for the design of professional development programs in crèche centers.
