The study showed that the institution of teacher education in the scenario investigated is recent and started in the late 60's, in the context of the military dictatorship, by the private sector. The profile of the teachers of History and Pedagogy is characterized with a group mostly female, white, Catholic. Most have titration only at the Postgraduate Sensu Lato. There was also evidence that teachers are versatile, a variety of different disciplines and sources of knowledge are varied, highlighting the knowledge of professional teaching experience. The interfaces and relationships between the process of training, knowledge, teaching practices and the process of (re) configuration are fragmented curriculum, individualized low participation of collective work in the institutional context. It was found that the trainers have investigated the constitutive features of the professionalism of teacher educators: the attitude of trainers, training of shared culture and certain qualification for the teaching profession.
