This article analyses educational assessment questionnaires in order to understand how they have incorporated the findings of qualitative educational studies on teacher's training. It describes the methodological framework and points out the literature on teacher's training related to the analysis. The analytical constructs and the indicators are applied to teacher background questionnaires from the Brazilian National System of Evaluation of Basic Education (SAEB) and two other American evaluation surveys. A comparative analysis of the various instruments, indicating the modifications introduced over the years, as well as if - and how - they contemplated the growing understanding of teaching knowledge is presented.
