Taking into consideration that the participation in undergraduate research projects (IC) constitutes a prestigious opportunity for the inclusion of students from licentiate courses in research, the aim of this article is to analyze the contributions of the IC to the teachers’ initial training and systematize the state of knowledge concerning the theme by consulting the databases Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) [Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations], Banco de Dissertações e Teses [Research Bank of Dissertations and Theses] da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes) [Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel] and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), between 2000 and 2020. The results showed aspects that are related to the contributions of the IC to the scholarship holders’ academic and scientific formation, the permanence in higher education and the teaching practice. From the point of view of teacher training and teaching practice, the IC’s experience contributes to the construction of an investigative look and stance in face of the complexity of the pedagogical practice, that moves the teacher from a "consumer" of ideas and theories to a "producer" of knowledge. Similarly, the teacher refrains from recognizing himself as a “transmitter” of knowledge and recognizes his students as “builders” of knowledge. The IC in licentiate courses can be considered a formative experience as it understands the knowledge acquired in the classroom and the teachers’ expertise as problematic and the investigative pathway as a possibility for the elaboration and re-elaboration on this knowledge and expertise.
