This article discusses the results of a study that investigated aspects of the constitution of the teaching identity of a physics teacher, based on the construction of a sociological portrait and a dispositional analysis. Two sessions of biographical interviews were carried out, each one with a specific focus: one on the teacher's trajectory in different formative contexts, and the other primarily biographical. In the results, we present the sociological portrait of the teacher organized from the following axes: family socialization, intensifying school experiences, paths that lead to teaching, and professional practices. In its dispositional heritage, the willingness to search for knowledge proved to be very significant, highlighting experiences of family formation and schooling that bring, quite decisively, the importance of educators in the development of meaningful relationships with knowledge, Physics, and teaching. It is important to emphasize that these educators are not only teachers with whom they had contact during their schooling, but also the family members themselves, who played a decisive role in the development of their disposition. It is concluded that all these educators left marks in the form of dispositions that, in the case analyzed here, implied an intimate relationship with knowledge and teaching.
