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 1^st through the 5^th 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.

Keywords : Higher Education; Curriculum; Teacher Education; Course Evaluation.
