Abstract

The Higher Normal Schools in Colombia train teachers in the complementary training program to perform in the preschool and primary. Training should have an emphasis on an area of ​​knowledge, develop the capacities of pedagogical research and guidance and pedagogical support of students by future teachers, among other demands. From this perspective, it is important to know the origin, development and projection of the Higher Normal Schools, within the framework of the historical context and its impact on the formation of subjects and social groups where the normalist graduate is recognized as a critical leader and transformer of realities.

The present study is approached from historical research, going to the archives of the Luis Ángel Arango and Bartolomé Calvo Libraries, to the General Archive of the Nation, to the Superior Normal School of Cartagena de Indias and to the Ministry of National Education; To collect the information that agrees with Cardoso (1981) is necessary for the development of research, which is organized, analyzed and interpreted.

In order to account for the training of future teachers, the school curricula from 2002 to 2010 and a sample of the degree projects were reviewed, which at that time was a requirement to obtain the teacher's degree. Teaching training, pedagogical practice and research were determined as analysis categories.
