This article describes the results of qualitative research regarding teacher training of 12 professionals hired by the hour to teach courses at the Colegio de Bachilleres (equivalent to high school) in Mexico City. Based on qualitative interviews, the three professional transitions that these 12 professors have gone through are analyzed, in accordance with the proposal which was the basis for researchers at the University of Sherbrooke, experts on the subject: from an intuitive pedagogy to a systematic one; from knowledge about a discipline to knowledge with regard to how to teach it, and from an identity as a professional of different disciplines to an identity as a teacher. The development of the teacher identity is analyzed beginning with the recovery of the interviewees’ career path at the Colegio de Bachilleres at three key moments: their entry as novice professors, the interview as more experienced teachers, and the intermediate period between these two moments, in which the main mechanisms that support the configuration of the new identity are determined.
