Abstract:
A reading of teacher's professionalization in curricular policies, which has been developed since the 1990s, has aimed the field of initial teacher education in Brazil and focused on the roles that knowledge of practice has played in the curricular knowledge of undergraduate programs. Its theoretical and methodological references have been studies in the field of educational policies and the poststructuralist inspired curriculum as well as, as database, observations from studies that have been done since 2005 following the impact of changes in undergraduate curricula through case studies. Aspects of curricular legislation and professional training knowledge have been discussed through interviews with senior students who reported their experiences with the reformed curricula, in addition to practice and practicum elements. It could be concluded that these policies cannot substantially change aspects of the organization and culture of institutions and that reform recontextualization has led to the disintellectualization of teacher's education.
