摘要：This study aimed to find and analyze some of the possible social representations about teacher training held by Physical Education students at a private university in Rio de Janeiro’s Baixada Fluminense area. Sixteen students from a Physical Education school answered a questionnaire and their answers were evaluated through content analysis. The results say students see professors as a panacea and most of them were not able to ascribe meaning to teacher training, but there was a consensus that “knowledge” is important, even though most students entered the course for affinity. Therefore, the study concluded that one of the main indications of social representations present in the student group’s common sense is that knowledge is the most expressive element in teacher training and that having it is the most striking characteristic of the good Physical Education teacher.
