This article aims to be a reflection on the curriculum and the teaching programs in History, taking into consideration the place reserved to the teaching practice and the supervised internship. The new Brazilian laws increased the amount of time dedicated to practice and internship, which theoretically demanded wide reforms in the teaching curricular programs of undergraduate courses since 2001. In spite of those transformations and reforms, we see in qualification programs for teachers some permanencies that continually update old problems. This discussion reviews these problems considering the historical background of the internship in the last thirty years. Empirical data, like the narratives by teachers majored in History from Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) and Universidade Estadual de Santa Catarina (UDESC) obtained between the late 1970's and the 1990's are also used to contribute to the discussion about the current qualification program for History teachers.
