The theme of this study is the politic dimension at the professor of Teaching Qualification in History at UEG UnUs (University Unit) at Cidade de Goiás and Morrinhos between 1999 e 2010. Understanding how the politic dimension integrates the professor s identity of the course of Teaching Qualification in History at UEG is the main goal. The social relevance of the theme is in the fact of calling attention to the professor to take on, among his responsibilities, the politic commitment aiming at the social transformation. Understanding how the process of weakness of the politic aspects found in the modernity hits the teaching staff of the courses of Teaching Qualification in History at UEG was the problem of this research which demanded a line of the following purposes: find, in literature, the different approaches about the meaning of politics in modernity; recognize the liking between the education and politics, identifying the characteristics of the professor as intellectual committed pedagogically and politically with the teaching staff work; understand the objectives of higher of education, especially at UEG; analyze the politic dimension of the professor of Teaching Qualification in History of the University Units at Cidade de Goiás and Morrinhos. The method of dialect materialism was adopted as a line of investigation. In the point of view of the approach form of the object, the research is qualitative with analyses of interviews with professors and students. The guide categories of this research were: politics and university teaching staff. The axis that guides the theoretical referential are: a) conception of politics, with the support in Finer (1981), Negt and Kluge (1999), Bobbio (2000), Marx (2002), Dallari (2004) and Arendt (2007a; 2007b; 2008); b) principles of higher education and UEG based on Ferreira (1995), Silva (1995), Vieira (2000) and Catani and Oliveira (2002); c) the University as a political space with support in Brzezinski (1987; 1996; 2002), Gramsci (1989) and Portelli (1997); d) the weakness in the political aspects at the modern society with support in works of Marx (1980; 2002; 2006; 2007), Coelho (1986), Enguita (1991), Gaparini (1995) and Antunes (2001). The conclusions pointed that the university is essentially a public space where scientific, pedagogical and political activities must be materialized. The responsibility with the political education is being hindered by factors like the alienation process which involves the History Professors at UEG by the proletariation of their functions, by the definition of the person as apolitical or individualist and by the incorporation of neo-liberal referential.
