This essay is the result of a critical analysis carried out through a bibliographic review, divided into two dimensions in the social historical context: the professionalization process in the teaching career, with special focus on Chemistry, and the nature of professional teaching knowledge. This article aims to understand how the professionalization of the Chemistry teaching career happened and what is the nature of the professional teaching knowledge. The legitimacy of teaching as a profession is closely linked to the recognition of a specific professional knowledge structure. However, the lack of understanding about the professional teaching knowledge conception and nature hampers the social recognition of it and the professionalization process of the teaching career too, especially due to the way that some public policies for teacher training are implemented.
