SUMMARY:

This dissertation analyzes the motivations and expectations that lead graduates and postgraduates from other fields to pursue a degree in Pedagogy as a second undergraduate program at the State University of Montes Claros (Unimontes), understanding this phenomenon as an expression of historical processes of professional reconversion and the re-signification of teaching. We argue that training in Pedagogy, when sought as a second degree, constitutes an effective possibility for teacher qualification, as it fosters the critical appropriation of pedagogical foundations and enables the re-signification of educational practices, responding to the legal and social demands placed on initial teacher education in Brazil. This is a qualitative study, with a comprehensive and interpretive nature, which uses the case study as an investigative strategy, with the Pedagogy course at Unimontes as its empirical field. The data sources included bibliographical, documentary, and empirical research, with questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Content analysis made it possible to articulate the normative, formative, and experiential dimensions of the phenomenon. We found that the Pedagogy course at Unimontes has consolidated itself as a field of human and socially grounded training by promoting the integration between theory and practice, strengthening critical awareness, and valuing teaching work as mediation between knowledge and emancipation. We conclude that the study broadens the understanding of the new formative profiles of the teaching profession and reaffirms the importance of public universities in shaping training policies that recognize the diversity of teaching trajectories. The research contributes to the debate on curriculum and teacher education and to the improvement of undergraduate pedagogical course designs, reaffirming Pedagogy as the science of education committed to social transformation.
