Abstract

Based on the Cultural and Historical Activity Theory, this study aims to present and discuss some events happened during the course called Practices on Physics Teaching. This course is available at a Brazilian public university to third-year pre-service physics teachers. In this paper we focused on three months classes in which data were gathered by video recordings. We will show the genesis of the "lab guide activity"; the changes made by the professor and pre-services teachers after discussing the rules of the activity; and the new activity that emerged from the collective process among them. In the end we propose an initial model based on the activity system to improve the relationship between universities and high schools.
