RUIZ-BANULS, Mónica; GOMEZ-TRIGUEROS, Isabel María    NIETO JUAREZ, Tania Itzel. Pre-Hispanic and Colonial Education in Mexico’s Teacher Education: An Analysis of Perceptions. []. , 28, 96, pp.21-47.   05--2023. ISSN 1405-6666.

The objective of this research is to analyze pre-service teachers’ perceptions of their knowledge of educational concepts from the pre-Hispanic and colonial worlds. Based on a cross-sectional descriptive methodological approach, statistical analyses of central tendency and bi-variate analyses were utilized (Pearson’s correlation and ANOVA), through the use of an ad hoc questionnaire completed by 220 students at the School of Education at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). The instruments’ internal consistency (α = .892) ratified their accuracy as analytical tools. The results show the university students’ low self-perceptions in recognizing and defining the concepts at hand and confirm their need to learn those concepts in order to gain confidence in their work and strengthen the configuration of their identity.
