Teacher training is a recurring approach in production and academic debates. In the quest for quality in teacher training, new ground has been trodden by academic institutions.

The survey presents qualitative approach which data collection was based on two instruments: a questionnaire and documentary research on the PIBID-IFAM. Questionnaires were administered to 15 fellows from initiation to teaching the IFAM in the year 2013, undergraduate in Chemistry and Biological Sciences. The documentary research was based on the following documents: the first notice of CAPES public selection convening of PIBID (Notice MEC / CAPES / FNDE No. 01/2007), the institutional design PIBID / IFAM and the legal basis of PIBID through LDB No. 9.394 / 1996, Decree No. 7.219 / 2010 and Law No. 12.796 / 2013. The analysis points to the real potential of PIBID, institutional level, confirming their contributions to the initial training of undergraduate and appreciation of the teaching profession in the Basic Education of the public school system.
