The perspective of the work was understanding the students qualifications on a Pedagogy course. The work had as references the aspects related to evaluation theoretical qualifications, the teachers practices and the procedures that the future teacher aims to develop. It was selected for the research authors whose studies are related to apprenticeship evaluation and teacher training as: NÓVOA (1991), CANDAU (1996), DEMO (1999), PERRENOUD (1999), RODRIGUES (1999), SACRISTÁN (2000), BONNIOL (2001), CAPPELLETTI (2001), HADJI (2001), LIBÂNEO (2001), SAUL (2001), VIAL (2001), IMBERNÓN (2002), FRANCO (2004), WORTHEN (2004), and others. The research of how evaluation training is taken, in ten schools, was made through semi-structured interviews. The target group of this research was teachers specialized in evaluation-related subjects, and their students, who were on the last course year of Pedagogy. It was encountered that teachers evaluation qualifications were precarious due to the division of teaching and evaluation in different subjects, the dichotomy of theoretical and practical training and the lack of thinking over current themes directly related to evaluation, like prolonged progression. Some teachers have innovated through changing strategies and procedures. Nevertheless, innovating isn t enough. It is necessary to innovate the basic elements and the attitudes of how assessment is understood. The thesis was based in information empirically obtained, and it resulted in considerations focused on rethinking the teacher training on apprenticeship evaluation
