The goal of this research is to understand the relationships between policies for teacher education and the social representations of Pedagogy students about the teaching activity. The analysis of teachers activit from the representations of students of a pedagogy course contemplated the reasons why students choose the Faculty of Education and how they see their future life as a professional. The policy guidelines are important in building the image of the pedagogue when specifying their official duties and in this case they reinforce the function of teaching is central, because although the management and research are covered, these are not activities that characterize the profession of teacher. In the representations of the group of students shows a mixture of positive and negative traits in shaping the image that show, prevailing over an idealized image of the profession. The emphasis on teaching, present today in the National Curriculum Guidelines and also present the data collected from the students may have its roots more related to the representation of the profession in this society and the fact that most participants already in the teaching exercises early childhood education and may also be motivated by the fact that the National Curriculum Guidelines are still fresh, as other activities of the educators indicated in these guidelines were not significant in the responses. Activities such as continuing education; working with cultural diversity in the curriculum; working together with various ethnic, racial, people with disabilities, violence and bullying, etc.
