This study is part of the Research Line 1: Training, knowledge and professional development of the UFSM Postgraduate Program in Education and the project "Quality Indicators for the Brazilian Higher Education", developed by Rede Sul Brasileira de Investigadores da Educação Superior (RIES) in Observatório da Educação. The goal is to investigate what is the understanding of students on vocational training offered in UFSM and the training of its teachers. To do so, we identify how students evaluate the degree chosen and the resources available in their courses; learning activities that graduate students seeking to supplement their professional training and infer how students realize the activities of their teachers, as well as the formation of these to work in higher education. We propose a search for exploratory, descriptive and analytic approach has the support of qualitative and quantitative (BICUDO, 1997; TRIVIÑOS, 1987, GIL, 1994). Data collection was conducted with undergraduate students from a structured questionnaire comprising sixty-four questions. We propose this because we believe that research is a relevant issue as it seeks to analyze and discuss how the University fulfills its social function in terms of training, because we consider it important that discussions on education does not fall only on the training of teachers, but they consider also the understanding of students about the training offered at undergraduate level. That is, if we want to understand the practical training teachers at this level of education will meet the desires and demands of students, mainly because in recent years, Brazilian universities have undergone changes, especially about the actions leading to the evaluation and quality education and because higher education is constantly reinforced as an essential element in training professionals able to deal with a globalized and in constant transformation world.
