The purpose of this article is to present a historical review of teacher education in higher education at the University of Costa Rica, from its creation in 1941 until today. Curricula, training areas, credits, and the curricular and administrative management models of majors are described. The training of teachers has been characterized as comprehensive and interdisciplinary until the year 2016 when the Subdirector of Teaching approved a disciplinary major with a technocratic approach contrary to current trends in teacher education training. The article deals with a descriptive-comparative research on models of teacher education in secondary education in the following five countries: Germany, Cuba, Finland, Singapore, and Costa Rica. The techniques used for this research paper were the analysis of documents and interviews to key informants.

Palabras clave : initial teacher training; secondary education; curriculum; higher education.
