Background:

• Pedagogical training is crucial for health professionals within the National Health System (SUS).
• Technical Schools in SUS face unique challenges in delivering effective teacher training.
• Understanding institutional dynamics is key to improving training programs.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze the teaching implications of pedagogical training within a Technical School of SUS.
• To identify factors influencing pedagogical training effectiveness.

Main Methods:

• Qualitative study employing Institutional Analysis as a theoretical and methodological framework.
• Utilized the Institutional Socio-Clinical modality for data collection.
• Data gathered from seven health professionals between July 2017 and August 2018.

Main Results:

• Two key themes emerged: 'implications of teachers with training: the old Technical School' and 'New directions are evidenced in the implied behavior of teachers: a new Technical School?'.
• Identified factors that hinder and facilitate pedagogical training.
• Revealed how established behaviors created opportunities for new institutional movements.

Conclusions:

• Understanding the nuances of institutionalization is vital for effective teacher training.
• The study contributed to the collective construction of strategies for training new health teachers.
• Clarifying instituted behaviors and their impact on training is essential for future improvements.
