De professor formador para professor formador

This paper discusses teacher education in pre-service teaching courses by relating it to four questions: do students want teaching less and less? How to educate students who do not want it as a future profession? To what extent has collective work been built, in the context of undergraduate degrees, aimed at preparing students for teaching? Moreover, how to train teachers in contexts where the value of pedagogy in teacher professionalization is unknown or often disregarded? This theoretical study aims, in a (self) questioning perspective, to interrogate and reconstruct the meaning of the action of teaching in pre-service courses in Brazil. This reflection builds on the argument of the preponderant role of the teacher educators to entice the students to sign up in the formation and the teaching profession.
