The methodology was based on the qualitative research structuration, using documentary analysis and content analysis of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, which were treated under the scheme of the methodology of systemic networks. We studied the Political Pedagogical Project and the Curriculum Matrix for 16 courses in Chemistry from the Northeast, as well as the content analysis of interviews with coordinators and teachers and questionnaires to a graduating students sample. The results showed that the courses are seeking to effect their adequacy, however, was identified a marked segmentation between the training areas of chemical knowledge and pedagogical and still prevailing the model of teacher training based on technical rationality.
