Literature suggests that pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of prospective Physical Education teachers is constructed, among other formative strategies, through pedagogical practices (PPs). In this regard, this essay sought to reflect on the role played by the PPs on the construction of PCK, as well as the role played by teacher educators to implement and manage the PPs. It was found the centrality of PCK and the importance of carrying out teaching for the formation of prospective teachers; the need for insertion of different PPs in the pre-service formation; the function of PPs in revealing future teachers' knowledge base; the relevance of teacher educators' participation in the intermediation among course pedagogical project, pre-service teachers' knowledge base and PPs; and the need for constructing formation programs in this direction. These elements compose the scenery of PPs in programs of initial formation of Physical Education teachers and enable the construction of the PCK of future teachers.
