In recent years, the teacher training is being emphasised in the educational public policies, creating the idea that the teacher plays a fundamental role in the quality of teaching in our country. Given this context, in 2007 the Institutional Scholarship Initiative Program (PIBID) was created aiming to encourage and value teacher education to shape teachers to work in basic education. Given the breadth and the recognized impact of this Program, we selected the PIBID / PUC-Rio, in particular the Geography Subproject, as the object of study of this research, seeking to find answers to an important question: How did the formative experience provided by PIBID is overcoming the mismatch between training, innovation and geographical education? Our research aims to analyze the contributions and limits of PIBID / PUC-Rio in the Geography teacher training for basic education. We are based mainly on the analytical-pedagogical proposal called Policy Cycle and on the experience reports of the different subjects involved in the Geography Subproject (scholarship holders and former scholarship holders, supervisors and area coordinators) obtained through the realization of semi-structured interviews. The results lead us to observations related to the rapprochement of the university with the school environment, promoting the exchange of different knowledge that involve teacher training and the renewal of didactic-pedagogical strategies in the teaching of Geography, providing students of public schools experiences of more significant learning. We believe that the context of results presented by this research can contribute to the development of future experiences dedicated to the formation of geography teachers of PUC-Rio.
