Abstract
This comparative study tackles the issue of teacher education for children and the first years of elementary teaching and it aims to discuss the proposition of two different courses for the formation of the same professional, the teacher, in Pedagogical Courses and Normal Courses at superior level, after the law 9394/96. Great part of the expectations related to the success of education is granted to the teacher s performance, as are the responsibilities for educational failure, and the teacher is seen as an unprepared professional to deal with current issues and too limited to promote progress in education. These are some of the arguments used to the implantation of new policies for teaching formation. The proposals of the Normal Courses at superior level and Pedagogical Courses in the beginning of teacher education, far from reaching a consensus, present unconformities justified by different conceptions of teacher formation among lawmakers, studious and other professionals in education. The study of the courses for teacher education contributes to a return to questions such as the incoherence between the expected teaching performance as expressed in the educational legislation, the formation to which the teacher has access to and the necessary knowledge for teaching.
