Abstract

This article presents from an analytical, interpretative and critical perspective, the results of different studies that evidence advances in research about preservice mathematics teachers’ training from a realistic-reflective model. Specifically, four studies are presented on design, application and analysis of episodes from this model. They include a training cycle; different resources and teaching strategies to promote deconstruction of preservice mathematics teachers’ intuitive knowledge which can be an obstacle to their professional development; identifying self-regulation marks that allow deconstructing and co-constructing and reconstructing professional knowledge and; as a synthesis of the preliminary studies, the description of a transformative model of the professional competence that preservice mathematics teachers develop.
