This dissertation entitled Training of critical thinking: perspectives on a pedagogy course is linked to the line of research: Educational Institution and training of educators. The theme of research aimed to analyze how the formation of critical and reflective students (future teachers) Graduation from a pedagogy course has been offered by teachers of the course. Our goal was to determine whether the practices used by teachers, as well as selected content, the resources used, activities undertaken, the procedures, the type of evaluation, contribute significantly to training and developing students critical. Analysis was the design submitted by teachers about the training of critical thinking, analysis of critical thinking in the intentions of the political teaching of the course, the teaching plans of the participating teachers and observations in the classroom. For this analysis we chose a qualitative methodology: a case study, application of a semi-structured document analysis, in addition to the literature. The research was to present some considerations about the critical subject, highlighting the characteristics of criticality; emphasize the importance of schools as socializing of knowledge. It was discussed the importance of training and development of criticality in higher education and the procedures and practices present in the classroom that contribute to this training. Following considerations were carried out about the criticality and training and development of critical thinking in pedagogy course, and highlight what the Course Curriculum guidelines mention about the criticality and the formation of critical subject. Finally, we analyzed the questionnaires, the observations made in the classroom, the teaching plans of the teachers participating in the survey of the political and pedagogic course in question. To make this possible research analysis done for the election of some categories of analysis that allowed us to conclude that teachers have some ideas about the criticality and show know the importance of an education enabling the development offer diverse methodological procedures for this training is afforded, indicating that the assessment should be part of the educational process. However, in practice evidenced in the classroom does not match the speech made by teachers, since classes do not contribute to training and developing students critical. Note that this education takes a traditional and conservative approach that highlights the need for profound changes in institutional structure to promote the critical formation of future professionals. One must think of a university for the new times, where not only teach the well-known, but also to open the gates" to the unknown, so that new roads can be built.
