The study hypothesizes that there are notable differences in the pedagogical materials prospective teachers read across Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, reflecting the diversity in the Teacher Education Pedagogical Field (TEPF) of each country. It aims to explore what future teachers read during their initial training, what pedagogical traditions dominate, and how these differ by country. The data collected consists of 12,193 texts used in 25 teacher training institutions across the three countries. The study covers primary education teacher training programs and focuses on readings from four fields of knowledge: Pedagogical Knowledge, Content Knowledge, Foundations of Educational Sciences, and Learning Sciences.
