This dissertation aims to understand how teachers analyze the content of audiovisual products that they watch in television and how it can interfere in the classroom. The television is a popular media that constituted throughout the years as an important instrument of homogenization of habits, behaviors and values of contemporary societies. Knowing what teachers see on TV, what they like, dislike and look at how they evaluate the quality and relevance of television programming are some of the main questions of this study. The research had a qualitative character and has been carried out with public school teachers in Rio de Janeiro, who participated in training courses on media-education. from interviews and questionnaire responses made to the research, Media and youth: educational and social contexts, developed by the GRUPEM - Research Group in Education and Media and the LAEd - Laboratory Evaluation of Education, we analyzed the cultural consumption of the teachers and everyday practices, especially the ways of use television. The results were analyzed based on the theory of Jesus Martin- Barbero, Guillermo Orozco Gómez and reception studies of Latin America, which understand the media consumer is active and interacts in the relation with Medias. That relationship is mediated by several different types of cultural mediation. This research found that teachers interact with few sources of cultural mediation in their everyday lives and this may negative affect the relationship with TV.
