• Abstract:

  Normal schools are higher education institutions since the Official Decree of the Federation: 03/23/1984, an agreement that establishes that Normal Education at its initial level and in any of its types and specialties will have the Academic Degree of a Bachelor's Degree; Even so, it has had serious difficulties in being recognized with that status, on the one hand, because academic production has been scarce, in some contexts almost non-existent, and, on the other hand, when there are programs of institutional interest, resistance to participating in them arises.; Such is the case of the Program for the Professional Development of Teachers, for the Higher Type (PRODEP), born in 1996, but which includes normal schools in 2009. Although in these schools there are teachers with the necessary training to research, research production It has not had the boom as other Universities that have qualified teachers with the desirable profile and Academic Departments have; From here this analysis is derived to the academic activity of a normal school that seems to maintain its culture, resists changing its culture.
