This article is part of a research programme that focuses on the physics teacher's training and presents an analysis of a proposed activity conducted with future physics teachers enrolled in Strategies for Teaching Physics I. This course has as a major axis the method of case study, focusing on problems of teaching practice. They were asked to prepare and submit a teaching plan, including content, for the first grade of the secondary school. Then we analyzed the methodological proposals prepared and submitted, as well as his critical text of only one of those involved in the research, using Discourse Analysis. Our goal is to identify the ethos of these teachers, what it means to understand his/her identity as a teacher, and to investigate by means of discourse analysis if the activities, as well as the discussions throughout the course, contributed to their professional development.
