The training of teachers at higher education level in Brazil is a very controversial subject. When these discussions are expanded to the ambit of the training of chemistry teacher, the scenario is even more complex and contradictory. In light of this context, the purpose of this article is to highlight through a  bibliographical study the conjunctures in which the formation of the teacher of Chemistry is being built. Therefore, aspects of the Brazilian educational history are highlighted, with a focus on the constitution of the degree courses as a formative journey of teachers, emphasizing the slowness, discontinuities and neglect with which this training has been treated over time, especially highlighting aspects inherent in Basic Education and the social and economic context of the country, which served as a background for the implementation of teacher training policies. The exposed scenario reveals that the historical vestiges still echo in the current formation of these professionals, and especially it shows that the courses of Degree in Chemistry have not been able to break free of the baccalaureate characteristics that dwell in them since its origin.
