The research was based on the qualitative approach and the methodological procedures which were adopted, according to Trivinos (2010) were: questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with pedagogues from selected educational institutions, about the actions which were developed in order to improve the pedagogical practices of beginner teachers from the State School System of Paraná. The research included pedagogues who are working in ten (10) educational institutions which offer Professional Education in the city of Ponta Grossa. The pedagogues answered the first questionnaire as a group or individually. After that, twenty-three (23) questionnaires were handed in, to pedagogues who work directly in the Professional Education area, to be answered individually and, among those pedagogues, four (4) of them were selected to the semi-structured interview. The data analysis is based on Bardin (1995). The result of the research shows that the beginner teachers’ pedagogical practice in Professional Education has as a principle, the knowledge which was constructed during their academic education and life experience. The pedagogue must perform the role of mediator of the beginner teacher’s pedagogical practice, and his or her contributions must focus on discussions about methodologies, on directing critical reflections about teaching actions and on the articulation of knowledge, with continuous teacher development and in-service training.
