In the framework of the Performance Agreement UCO2013, between the Ministry of Education and the University of Concepción (Chile), named "UdeC Teachers: Protagonists of change in the society of knowledge", a study has been carried out to determine the needs for improvement and requirements for the continuous formation of technical high-school teachers from four provinces of the Bio-Bio region in Chile: Concepción, Arauco, Biobío and Ñuble. The research type was exploratory, applying a quantitative methodology with a questionnaire survey design. The studied universe covered 116 educational centers and 3.623 teachers of all four provinces of the Bio-Bio region. The random sample was made up of 80% of the already mentioned educational centers, whose teaching staff constituted a homogeneous group with similar professional interests and motivations. Of outstanding relevance among these common interests is the need for continuing education programs in the areas of teacher training management and internship.
