The article aims to understand and discuss the teaching activity developed by teachers in the context of Higher Education and its implications for the meaning of knowledge and for the human and professional constitution. This investigation is of a qualitative nature and was carried out from the Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA), in answers attributed to a semi-structured questionnaire answered by 69 teachers who worked in Higher Education in 2019. The research emphasizes, from the theoretical framework, teaching as the main activity of the teacher in Higher Education. Results produced point to the protagonism of the student in the process of signifying knowledge. The work highlights the importance of thinking about the need for transformations or new forms of professional teaching practice at this level of teaching in the brazilian educational context, with new methodologies or even with the reformulation of curriculum.
