This research, based on a documentary inventory, analyzed doctoral thesis available in the Catalog of Thesis and Dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, CAPES, with a focus on pre-service teaching undergradute courses practicum advisors. The guiding question of this study is: what do the thesis point out regarding the pre-service teaching undergradute courses practicum advisors, their training role in the context of internships in pre-service teaching courses? In methodological terms, we analyzed the set of six doctoral thesis using the qualitative research approach and documentary analysis as a data collection technique. As a main consideration, based on what the thesis point out, we emphasize that practicum advising in Brazilian pre-service teaching courses should be conceived as formative guidance, that is, as an educational praxis. We understand that this concept helps us to think about the organically articulated processes of initial teacher education, without the dualism that separates theory from practice.
