The aim of this study was to analyze the concerns of Physical Education teachers. The participants were four permanent teachers, with more than 25 years experience in public teaching in the state of Santa Catarina. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and the technique of content analysis was used in the information analysis. The results revealed major changes in pedagogical concerns along the teaching career. The teachers started in the career concerned with the offered working conditions, concerning themselves later into didactic action and government proposals for public schools. In the final cycles of teaching life, the concerns of social problems to which students are exposed were highlighted.
