The locus of the study was the Colégio Técnico Industrial de Santa Maria of the Federal University of Santa Maria UFSM. As a result of the research, it was noticed that their life trajectories refer to their initial traini ng, which is more technical than pedagogical, which shows us that at no time in their initial training they had contact with the pedagogical area, many sought this contact after initial training, because, there was a need to absorb pedagogical knowledge, a s well as all its structures for a good professional development within the classroom.
