Teacher knowledge in initial teacher education: elaborating meanings for supervised teaching practice activities

In this work we present the results of research about the construction of the teacher´s knowledge, during the period of supervised teaching practice for students in a teacher education program in Physics. For the data collection, two groups of students had been interviewed; we also analyzed their reports of teaching practice. During the interviews, the students were invited to speak about their experiences on the supervised period of training. We were looking for the representations that each trainee elaborated during the period of training, related to the pupils, the teachers, the school and the other students of their groups. From these representations it was possible to verify the knowledge constructed by the trainees during the supervised teaching practice and to characterize the singularity of their practice teaching.
