The present work resume the question of teachers training under Pedagogy graduation courses. To do so, a research with students, professors and coordinators of two top quality Pedagogy courses was undertaken. Both of them belonging to research institutions evaluated among the best in the city of Rio de Janeiro, one public and one community private. We seek to understand how the present teachers training for initial school years of elementary school works. Since this qualification now a days, after a movement of restructuring, is under the demand of university diploma. A process that can be called universitization, in order to better qualify teachers training and enhance professionalization. We asked th students IF they see themselves prepared to face the challenges inherent to the profession, based on the value given to pedagogy questions in their academic trajectory. Why they chose the course, the possibilities of professional performance, the conditions of formation and the development of students work were questions asked and driven by the look of the students and their teachers themselfs. Both courses were researched through the application of 252 presence questionnaires for students, 62 online questionnaires for professors and semi structured interviews with both courses coordinators. The majority of the students in our research, as indicated by the literature, come from popular strata. There so, demanding more human and material conditions to increase dedication and investment to achieve university diploma, in order to counterbalance possible deficiencies in their basic education. We also aimed to identify opportunities offered by those institutions to overcome these initial difficulties. With this group of elements, we looked forward to raise some hypothesis about the challenges to be faced by the Pedagogy courses and the pathways of teachers training in our country.
