This article presents the results of a research done within a group of newly graduated students in the education of dance teachers, aiming at investigating what prevails as didactics on teacher education courses. The study was oriented by the following objectives: to analyze knowledge about teaching, constructed through the study of didactics by future teachers finishing graduate level courses, and the contribution of the education of didactics to the process of the constitution of professional knowledge on teaching, giving more focus into what the teaching educator does in didactics to educate on teaching. The theoretical framework was built on three conceptual axes: (i) teaching as a professional specificity of teachers, based in Roldão; (ii) teaching professional knowledge basis, from what is proposed by some authors, such as Gauthier; (iii) conceptions of teacher education, according to Cochran-Smith e Lytle. Data was obtained by applying a survey and assembling discussion groups. Three analysis axes summarized the following results: (i) what is taught in didactics; (ii) how didactics is taught; (iii) what level of importance is given to the teacher educator interferences? The results point that the teaching of didactics, though it seems to overcome the prescriptive tendency, deals with important themes comprehending the teaching process, although with little investment in recognizing the teaching as specialized action, and on the need of the construction of the teaching professional knowledge base, with applicationist emphasis. What is done, and how it is done by the teacher educator to teach didactics, compose the teaching education process on teacher education, not always in a positive way.
