The present reality shares a historical narrative that seems to be very focused on what distinguishes us. Humanity seems to be defined more by what separates it than by what unites it, by what exists in common. Sharing the need for a new look at the human being and the conception that history is transformative and allows the complexity of understanding the world it was considered relevant to understand how a process of formation can contribute to the professional development and historical thinking of future History teachers, masters students on training. It is proposed to analyze the ideas that emerged from an initial task proposed and carried out by twenty students - future teachers of History, to then challenge these ideas throughout the formation process and in a longitudinal logic accompany the professional development and historical thinking of these students. The emerged ideas seem being guided by a logic of managerial professionalism and of prospecting History as the field that forms citizens. These ideas suggest being on the road with external demands conveyed by political entities and agendas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
