Abstract

In this paper, result ofdoctoral research conducted by the Graduate Program in Human Geography, Department of Geography, São Paulo University, we analyze changes in teaching and teacher training in geography from the process of implementing the Teacher Education Program (PFP-USP) launched by this University in 2006. Our aim is to analyze how the PFP-USP has guided the decisions and institutional practices that involve the training of teachers of geography and the challenges it brings to the DG-USP. Therefore, we resorted to documentary research in the institution and in other databases that refer to teacher education at USP. Furthermore, we apply questionnaires and conducted interviews with teachers and students of that department and other institutes and faculties of the university, directly or indirectly, had some degree of involvement in the construction process of implementation of PFP-USP, so that we could analyze the different perspectives and practices that exist there, as well as the challenges for the program to become effective.
