Among limitations identified, we highlight: Philosophy and Philosophy of education devaluation; lecturers participant in the research considered the importance of Philosophy dialogue with other areas; however, it still not happened in the current curriculum; students attributed higher percentile for regular criteria for learning evaluation instruments, and the higher negative percentile for teaching methodology and integration with the subject Fundamentals‟ lecturers; students not always understand the complexity of teaching practice. The research confirmed that curriculum evaluation field is open for new studies. We intend this research as a path for future researches on Philosophy of Education, from the specific reference about Philosophy [of Education].
