description <div>This paper presents a review of studies on pre-service teachers’ beliefs about teaching. The purpose <span style="font-size: 10px;">of the article is to show teacher educators the relevance of exploring such issue in the classroom. Preservice </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">teachers come into the teaching profession with beliefs about teaching; sometimes they are </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">aware of them, other times they are not. The studies reviewed in this paper demonstrate that when </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">teacher educators ascertain this principle, they clearly integrate it in their syllabi thus aiding preservice </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">teachers to acquire awareness of their entering beliefs about teaching and to experience changes </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">in them so that explicit beliefs guide and inform the act of teaching. Teacher educators assist this </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">process through reflection, course content, and learning activities, as well as by engaging in research</span></div><div>activities.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>En este artículo se presenta una revisión de varios estudios sobre las creencias de los docentes en <span style="font-size: 10px;">formación acerca de la enseñanza. El propósito es mostrar a los educadores de docentes en formación </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">la relevancia de explorar este tema en el salón de clase. Los profesores en formación entran a la</span></div><div>profesión docente con creencias acerca de la enseñanza; algunas veces son conscientes de estas, otras <span style="font-size: 10px;">veces no. Los estudios aquí citados demuestran que cuando los educadores de docentes en formación </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">asumen este principio, lo integran claramente en el currículo, y de este modo ayudan a los docentes en </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">formación a ser conscientes de sus propias creencias iniciales y a transformarlas, de tal forma que les </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">guíen e informen acerca de su labor pedagógica. Los educadores apoyan este proceso por medio de la </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">reflexión, los contenidos, las actividades de aprendizaje y las actividades investigativas. </span></div></div>
