Naturalization of content-matter and learning objectives: about the emphasis that future primary school teachers to grant to the pedagogical technical aspects

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to recognize the conditions conducive to the naturalization of content- matter by future primary school teachers. The research was carried out using a qualitative methodology with an ethnographic approach. The main techniques used were interviews, as well as a review of documentation. The study was conducted in the city of Madrid in two public and two private universities. Research begun in 2010 and finished in mid-2013. The results enable us to state that what prevails in the context of initial teacher training and, most likely, during the early years of the teaching career is an instrumental logic of which the clearest reflection is the hegemony of ‘instructional technology’ within the school spaces, whatever level they are.
