Challenges in the Training of Teacher Pedagogues

Teachers play a fundamental role in their students' lives. They need to be specialised in order to get the student into the professional market, as well as having a major impact on any institution's educational project. Given the importance of this professional, we need to know the real reason why young people choose Pedagogy as a higher education course and what their perception is of the curriculum offered by the institution. So, in order to better delineate this scenario, this research was based on a bibliographical methodology and also a field study with the first and fifth modules of the Pedagogy course at the Octávio Bastos Teaching Foundation University Centre - UNIFEOB, in order to find information that would show the students' view of the training they receive and what possible challenges they believe they will encounter after graduating. It is well known that with the constant changes in ways of learning and teaching, Pedagogy courses must prepare future teachers to dialogue with the new reality of the classroom, acting as learning mediators.
