The initiation into teaching in the final years of elementary school represents a challenging period, marked by uncertainties and significant learning experiences. This study explored the challenges and formative possibilities for teachers in the final years of elementary education from the Regional Education Coordination of Maravilha in Santa Catarina, Brazil. The general objective was to investigate how the initiation into teaching occurs in the final years of elementary school for teachers in the state education system under the Regional Education Coordination of Maravilha, SC, and how this process relates to their initial teacher education. The specific objectives of the research were: to identify the challenges faced by early career teachers in their school contexts, especially during the process of initiation into teaching; and to analyze how the initial education of novice teachers in the final years of elementary school influences their pedagogical practices in the classroom during the initiation process. The research was conducted using a qualitative and interpretive approach. The data collection was carried out through an online questionnaire with both open and closed-ended questions. The data analysis was performed using Content Analysis techniques. The results indicated a disconnection between theoretical training and teaching practice, highlighting challenges such as student indiscipline and adaptation to classroom dynamics. This study suggests the need for greater integration between theory and practice in initial teacher education to better prepare teachers for the real challenges of teaching.
