This article examines teacher training and its performance in Ecuador, a country where the quality of education is an important precondition for a world in which people must be treated as real objects and subjects of change, as well as key actors in their own learning. The objective is to analyze teacher training in the second stage of secondary education, which contributes to the quality of education. In this sense, from the point of view of classroom practice, teachers and other educational professionals, as basic units of development and change, must be in line with the demands of modern society, consciously respond to the methods of teaching, in a systematic and planned manner. This makes them true facilitators of student learning. The type of research is a literature review that uses deductive and inductive methods. Based on the results of the literature analysis, the authors carry out a theoretical reflection on the teaching process of teachers, based on the learning needs in educational institutions with an adequate development of the system.
