The present article discusses the pedagogy of work projects as a contribution for the development of competences involving teachers in a continuing education situation. The theories involved are the sociodiscursive Interactionism by Bronckart (1999), mainly the concepts of language activity and language action, the work projects by Hernández (1998a, 1998b), Perrenoud’s competence concept (1999) and Baltar’s discursive competence concept (2006). The methodological procedures follow the research-action dynamics: action, reflection, action, as Andaloussi (2004), analyzed during the follow-up of the creation and execution of a work project in a public school in Flores da Cunha-RS. The results showed the development of multiple competences in the project participants and the school`s necessity to rethink its didactic-pedagogical planning towards collaborative work, aiming at promoting the school community`s sociodiscursive emancipation.
