This dissertation is a study about the developing process of the curricular proposal to the Pedagogy Course, applied by the department of Education of the Catholic University of Goiás EDU/UCG, in the first semester of 2004, therefore the object of this research is the Pedagogy Course in UCG. Its proposal is to identify the relations between the majoring conception expressed in the curricular proposal and the teaching practice of the teachers in the Education Department. The research qualitative in the class of action research. The research procedures adopted to reach the desired objectives were: the delimitation of the focus of the study, the progression of the literature s review; the extensive usage of comments and information along with a active observation; the definition of categories and their analysis. The theoretical reference regards studies about the curriculum theory and the graduation of teachers based on the ideas of authors, such as Brzezinski (1987, 1996, 1999, e 2002), Andrade(1985), Liston & Zeichner (1993), Pacheco (1996, 2000, 2003), Moreira (1999), Silva ( 1999, 2000), Sacristán (2000), Silva (2003), Coelho ( 2004), among others. The historical review of Pedagogy Course in Brazil has been enriched by the research made in documental fonts laws, decrees, resolutions, reports and indications -, with the objective of place the paradigms in the graduation of the pedagogue that, in a certain way, influence the actual curricular proposal of the EDU/UCG. The field research was developed by the active observation and by interviews with a semi-structured script with teachers and tutors of the new curriculum. The students were used as a font of information by the use of the technique of group interviews. With the data collected from the theoretical reference, the interviews and the observations made was possible to affirm that the Project Political-pedagogic of the course of Pedagogy 2004/1 tries to maintain the principles discussed and adopted collectively in 1984 and assumes the teaching as the Pedagogue s identity. Though it is affirmed that the reference of this proposal has its origins on that curriculum, the actual document does not show it on a clear manner and it assumes a moderate political speech despite of being well expressed on it the conceptions of man, society, graduation and the practice of the pedagogue. The research allowed to be concluded that the graduation practice of the EDU is more progressist than the one that the document brings, therefore this practice is recognized by the intention on the realization of a work where the unity between theory and practice, the critical reading of the school s pedagogue s job and the multi subjects are learned by the students since their first semester. Conflicts and contradictions were also identified regarding the try to wide the Pedagogue s vision to beyond the school education practice, even though the proposal of the course have it as on of its objectives, there is no explanation and subjects on the curriculum. It was also concluded that some of the teachers have difficulties on the realization of group work, demonstrating not enough integration, assuming independent and isolated practices that contribute very few to the graduation of the professional Pedagogue.
