Resumo: Most Science teachers in Brazil have degrees in Biological Sciences. National scientific literature points out that for them it is a challenge Physics teaching in middle schools. The challenge increases with the prescription by the National Common Curricular Base of the content of Physics distributed throughout all years of middle school. In this context, this article aims to present and to problematize the results of an investigation about teacher training for Physics teaching in middle schools at Graduation Courses in Biological Sciences. For this, a survey and analysis of the workload and curricular content of Physics through online files from courses from twelve universities in Minas Gerais, Brazil It was found that such initial training courses have a small workload for the Physics curricular component, which has a limited scope of specific contents and is developed without being linked to teaching practice at the middle schools.
