Conhecimento didático e formação de professores de história: Contribuições para a teoria e a prática

Abstract

This paper discusses the relationship between theory and practice in teacher education, defending the premise that teachers build pedagogical knowledge. Theoretical possibilities raised by theories of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (Lee Shulman) and History Didactics (Luis Fernando Cerri) are compared and discussed on the analysis of a project involving university teachers, basic school teachers and university students. To expand knowledge about the topic helps to think about the role of university professor from more collective perspective, rebuilding the tension between theory and practice.
