description This paper shows some results of a study whose objective was to investigate the conceptions that students have about a basic training program for teachers of mathematics, about the nature of mathematics, and the way they learn and teach. The theoretical framework of the project is described in general terms as well as the analytical categories established for the design and validation of an instrument that identified the conceptions of students of the Licenciatura of Mathematics and Statistics, at Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia, Duitama Branch. Some statistics techniques used to analyze the collected information are highlighted, concluding that freshmen retain a static view of how to teach and assess maths, while the students from the last semesters have modified their conceptions, considering mathematics as a human and social construction in constant dynamism, although with slight overtones of rigidity in their evaluation.

El presente documento muestra algunos resultados de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue el de indagar las concepciones que tienen los estudiantes en un programa de formación inicial para profesores de matemáticas, sobre la naturaleza de las matemáticas, su forma de aprender y enseñar. Se describen en forma general los referentes teóricos del proyecto, así como las categorías de análisis establecidas para el diseño y validación de un instrumento que permitió identificar las concepciones de estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Matemáticas y Estadística, de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia Facultad Duitama. Se resaltan algunas técnicas estadísticas usadas para el análisis de la información recopilada, concluyendo que los estudiantes de primer semestre conservan una visión estática del cómo se enseñan y evalúan las matemáticas, mientras que los de terminación académica, han modificado sus concepciones, al considerar la matemática como una construcción humana y social en constante dinamismo, aunque con ligeros visos de rigidez en cuanto a su evaluación.
