RESUME,

The question of training of the teachers remains relevant. During initial training, the future teachers must develop professional skills which allow them to exercise their profession with a minimum of efficiency once they enter their profession. These competencies should develop at the rhythm of contextual constraints, especially during the in-service training from which benefit the teachers in office. Given that educational reforms in Burundi are in progress, it is important to know the professional representations on the effectiveness of the trainings received by teachers in general and those of physics in particular.
We have asked ourselves whether training courses received by physics teachers would not have an effect on the efficiency of physics teaching. In order to answers this question, we led an investigation by questionnaire with a sample of 49 physices teachers in 49 secondary schools in rural and urban areas as well as a sample of 60 future physics teachers to the Institute of Applied Pedagogy (IPA) and to the Superior teachers' training college (ENS).
The results obtained after the data analysis, brought to us to notice that so much near the teacher as the students, the representation are the same; they are generally unfavorable to physics teachers' profession. The surveys have also shown us that teachers and students perceive differently their training in the teaching of physics. According to the teachers, the vocational skills constructed in initial training they received provided them with the skills to perform well as a physics teacher.
Ultimately, the results of our research can help in locating the levers to be activated in order to maximize the effectiveness of the training of physics teachers in Burundi. In the quest for professional satisfaction of teachers in Burundi, it is necessary both to trace the axes of effectiveness of the courses offered to them and re-revitalizing the management policy of their career, which would contribute to the upgrading of their profession.
