Starting  from  the  investigation  of  some  data  from  the Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (ENADE) [National Assessment of Student Achievement], as well as the completion, dropout and retention rates in the Education undergraduate program, campus Tocantinópolis, we reflect on the challenges of teaching practices, considering their responsibility, their limitations and opportunities. It is an exploratory study, carried out in three phases: the survey on the performance of students in ENADE; the description of undergraduate students today; and the presentation of the challenges of teaching practices in higher education. The study made us believe that there is a real student, with difficulties, expectations and possibilities, who has not yet been fully understood by the teaching practices, contents and languages adopted in higher education. We cannot ignore the challenges of higher education teaching and that the learning process does not fit into ready-made formulas. Finally, we understand that the theories of education, pedagogy and teaching must enter the higher education agenda.
