This equipment aims to provide the schoolteachers with a structured, didactic, pedagogical and technically conducive environment for their in-service training. From this, the objective of this research is to analyze the contribution that the Laboratory of Didactics and Teaching Improvement provides for the improvement of the teaching of Biology teachers, through its qualification through the continuous training carried out in said environment. Firstly, the state of the question (EQ) was elaborated for which a mapping of the published works and the understandings on the theme of teacher services was elaborated, identifying titles and authors who wrote that could contribute to the creation of a bibliographical table with articles, theses, books and academic journals of national publication. For the EQ the starting point for research were the keywords: "teacher training in service", "teacher training" and "continuing teacher training".

In analyzing the contribution that the Laboratory showed how important and feasible is the use of this didactic pedagogical tool for the improvement and professional qualification of the professors of the discipline of Biology of the institution, through the continuous training carried out in said environment. One of the impacts is to improve the technical conditions of teachers for the full exercise of their functions in the classroom.
