This article is part of the result of the Master's in Education research at the University of Cuiaba / MT. It aims to present the professional characteristics expected by the Public Administration when teachers enter primary education in Mato Grosso. Based on the historical-cultural methodological dimension, the research is linked to the Ghemat Brasil group and is based on the methodological contributions of authors such as De Certeau (1982), Chervel (1990), France (2016), Julia (2001), Leite (1970) and Valente (2006). The theoretical-methodological path is constituted through the narrative about the construction of the professional teaching profile in the period of the First Republic in the State of Mato Grosso, from sources inventoried in the Memory and Public Archive Institute produced in the late nineteenth and early years of the 20th century. The study points out the essential elements for understanding the historical construction of the Regulations that determined the precepts for the Primary Public Instruction of the State of Mato Grosso and the sources reveal the processes and dynamics that regulated the teaching profession of the period.
