Abstract
In Spain, within the framework of democratic society, after four decades of dictatorship, a new model of teacher education was developed. Our objective is to study the model of initial teacher training with the Law of General Management of the Educational System (1990) and the professional profile emanated from its design. We analyze the discourse of reform, legislation and programs of study as well as a bibliographic review. The study allows us to know the educational policy for the training of teachers in the beginnings of Spanish democracy. The educational reform generated changes in the institutions, in the programs and pedagogical practices, but did not improve the academic level of the graduates. With these contributions we contribute to the reflection on the programs of teacher training.
