ABSTRACT
The goal of this text is to present some contexts that deal with the training of university professors and public policy, with an emphasis on theoretical constructs elaborated in the last few decades in the field of educational research and how these constructs have been appropriated and re-signified by public policies. This paper also presents some recent programs implemented by Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (nova CAPES), as well as research done on one of these programs, the Observatório da Educação. The results of this research show the possibility of adherence to one of these programs and the promotion of a university-school partnership that stimulates reflection and critical appraisal on the part of professors with respect to public policies and the prescriptive documents that reach schools.
