When discussing the exercise of teaching in basic education, the arguments linked to the specificities of early childhood education, elementary school and high school are expressive, as well as the language adaptations that must occur at each stage. EJA also requires the same premises of this debate, requiring exclusive training for teachers working in this modality. The main objective of this study is to analyze how the Licentiate Degree courses in Chemistry at the federal institutions IFRJ and UFRJ have prepared graduates to work in EJA. This research, of a qualitative nature, was developed from a bibliographic review and a documental analysis. For this, a theoretical explanation was made regarding the training of teachers for EJA, in addition to dedicating part of the work to specifically address the training of Chemistry teachers. Subsequently, disciplines aimed at education and teaching of Chemistry at the aforementioned institutions were researched and categorized. Then, having as a reference the Pedagogical Projects of the Courses and their curricular matrices, the syllabi of these disciplines were analyzed, seeking to verify how EJA has been contemplated in these degrees. As a result, it was concluded that advances in relation to the inclusion of studies on EJA in undergraduate courses are slow, through the offer of optional subjects for EJA.
