The text presents a theoretical discussion concerning the teachersformation as well as the higher education expansion in Brazil. It had in its field research two distinct moments: First all the teachers had to fill up a questionnaire on the disciplines discussed, this questionnaire was carried out in all schools under the Núcleo de Educação supervision, and then, there was an interview with one of the 18 teachers who belonged to the 18 cities of the region. The results found have shown a serious reality of problems concerning the teachersformation as well as a complex acting scene, which does not, in many cases, agree with the initial formation received. Such situations point to a necessity of adopting new perspectives in the teachersformation courses in the areas shown in the research and that some orientation should be given to supply the formation necessities of those who nowadays are teaching these disciplines in this region. We also see the necessity of adapting the teachersacting according to their formation area, and improvement courses will be necessary in the cases of teachers who will remain acting in an area which is different from their formation.
