The present works aims at presenting a teaching practice developed with students enrolled in the discipline Educational Psychology, presented in the teaching courses at the Faculdade de Educação of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (FaE/UFMG). The objective of the work was to allow those students - future teachers - establishing relationships between the theoretical content developed during the discipline and the reality emerges from the familiarity with a teenager. For such, we have applied the instrumental case study technique, making use of several resources for that purpose. From the data gathered in discussions carried in class and from the final evaluation's reports wrote by the students, we came to the conclusion that the work contributed in a significant way for the understanding of the theories studied in a context of integrating and articulation with daily life.
