ABSTRACT
The aim of the article is to contribute to the production of knowledge on manuals for teachers’ education, focusing particularly on the books used in the teaching of disciplines such as Pedagogy, Didactics, Methodology and Teaching Practice, from a perspective still little explored in educational research. Called pedagogical manuals, they have been published in Brazil since 1870 with the intention of guaranteeing future teachers a specialized formation. The complexity of Didactics as a field of knowledge and the strengthening of Specific Didactics have produced transformations in this set of manuals over the past forty years, requiring conceptual reviews and new research perspectives, pointed out by the authors in this paper written based on their research results.
