This study analyzes what is proposed as teacher training disciplines in higher education Pedagogy courses. The analysis focused on the curricula and descriptions of in-class teacher training courses in Pedagogy, which are responsible for training teachers from the 1st through the 5th grade of elementary school and kindergarten. The paper presents the features of these courses in Brazil and, among them, highlights some aspects such as fragmentation in the curricula showing a quite dispersed set of disciplines, and the emphasis of the descriptions showing a concern with justifying "why" to teach - which, in a way, would contribute to avoiding that these disciplines become mere recipes. However, it is only in a very incipient manner that they register "what" and "how" to teach.
