The aim of this study was to investigate the process of teaching learning, priorities, desires and difficulties experienced by academics in Chemistry, when describing a day of class as a high school teacher. For this, on the first day of class of the Supervised Internship, of the Chemistry Degree course, academics were asked to produce a narrative text imagining what a working day as a Chemistry teacher would be like. This activity gave rise to 15 narratives, which were analyzed based on content analysis. Such an analytical procedure allowed the identification of two main categories, which were divided into subcategories. To discuss the results, the first category was selected: Image of a Chemistry teacher, which encompasses ideas about different methodologies, planning and time control, interpersonal relationships between teacher and student and between students, the profession as a job exhaustive and the teacher's clothes. In view of the results, it was possible to highlight multiple aspects as constituents of the teaching work, which highlights the need to expand the discussions held in the initial training courses, in addition to aspects related to disciplinary and didactic-pedagogical content.
