The data collected through non-participant observation and semistructured interviews were presented, analyzed by the method of constant comparisons. From this process, the categories teacher training trajectory and expressions of pedagogical content knowledge about the contents emerged, and the resulting subcategories teaching practice, teacher training, socialization among peers and mastery of content, organization and management of the group and assessment of student comprehension, respectively. The results indicate that the teacher's search for continuing education, socialization with peers, professional activities beyond teaching experience itself and the choice of an emancipating theoretical and methodological framework in teaching are related to the mastery of content and a more dialogical, problem-solving and critical-creative approach to him-/herself and the students.
