The study makes it possible to highlight trends that arise and practices that are assumed in the training of primary school teachers.

For its execution, the analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, document analysis and historical-logical methods were used, which allowed establishing evaluative criteria on the conception and methodology associated with the primary school teacher's training process.
