Research and studies about teaching, history and epistemology of Earth Sciences have been developed strongly associated with undergraduate teachers/researchers teaching practices. At the same way, in this work we aimed at comprehending the relationships that geography undergraduate students establish between the content/shape developed within a scientific undergraduate discipline and the professional content/shape, i.e., analysed in relation to elementary school, and becoming a teacher. The students' answers to a question we made indicated how they represented an activi-ty developed at that course in relation to their imaginary about being an elementary school teacher. The analysis also showed that the meanings were produced in different ways by the students, making them interfere in imaginaries from which those meanings were produced, about aspects of their memory as basic school students and the way they represent their knowledge and teaching practices of the discipline Geography at elementary school. The analysis showed that the activity is not transparent about its teaching content, because those meanings were the product of different discursive memories, related to different student-positions. This study points out the importance to consider and the possibility to work with future teachers imaginaries about teaching in relations that they establish to the content/shapes of their undergraduate scientific disciplines.
