Abstract (partial):

“From the year 2014, the country faces the professionalization of teachers, having two profiles in its ranks, those who are graduates of the Normal Schools with the knowledge about the different disciplines in the educational field and those who are graduated of the different schools with the apprehension about the subject, this is where the difference of knowledge between one profile and another is marked.
