The stage curriculum in teacher education aims to bring the trainee primary school, their future field. It is activities supervised by entail monitoring and guidance of the teacher training adviser (linked to the university) and the classroom teacher's class (linked to the basic school). In this study we aimed to identify and analyze the work done by academics to guide the stage of a training course for teachers of mathematics at a public university in southern Brazil. We use the interview as an instrument of data collection along with two faculty advisers' internship. Analyzes were guided by legal guidelines on the stage and authors such as Pimenta and Lima (2004), Pimenta (2006), Zabalza (2004) and Zeichner (2009). Among the results, we point out that the demand for labor of guiding is broad and often, these teachers do not have the minimum requirements to monitor and supervise the interns. The mismatch between the school calendar and timetable university was a limitation identified in the development stage of this course. We realized the need for a closer relationship between school and university and review of what refers to cooperative work between the two faculty advisers internship this course.

Current paper is the result of a research on twenty-eight starting university teachers in four universities in southern Brazil and seeks to understand their concern on pedagogical discussion spaces as a possible support for the development of their teaching practice. The research started from the point that starting teachers should insert themselves within higher education culture and find pedagogical support to develop their lectures. As a rule, they have recently obtained a doctoral degree, complying with the required academic title for their tenure, but with scanty or no pedagogical preparation. The subjects answered a semi-structured interview, with issues on the challenges, difficulties and possibilities of pedagogical support pointed out when they started their activities. The quantitative data form the corpus analyzed used in the analysis. The paper is based on studies by Garcia (1999, 2009b), Vaillant and Garcia (2012) and others. Results showed that pedagogical education and professional development of university professors, developed through pedagogical spaces, are essential for and welcomed by these teachers. An overall policy is required that valorizes the teaching tasks as fundamental for achieving teaching quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Teaching, understood as a complex action, mobilizes specific and complementary knowledge. University teaching has shown itself to be dynamic, in the sense that be molded to contemporary context. Nowadays, Higher Education is impacted by competition, productivity and efficiency. The ways of being a teacher, of teaching, of understanding teacher education and the influences of the socioeconomic context form and reveal teaching concepts. Based on these assumptions, in this paper we aim to analyze the teaching conceptions of bachelor teachers beginning their careers. This qualitative and empirical research adopted the interview for data collection with seven bachelor professors, beginners in their careers and working in the agrarian area and in community universities in the western mesoregion of Santa Catarina. The results, built through content analysis, showed that the teaching conceptions are formed by the convergence of the teaching practice bases, training/self-training, the teaching activities carried out, the Agricultural Sciences area and the community universities, as well as the context of performance of these teachers - convergence that also expresses the complexity of teaching in Higher Education. We also found that the socioeconomic context makes higher education institutions and their teachers increasingly involved in market logics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
