Results:

The fundamental result of the study is a frame of reference for the development of the scientific methodological culture of the university professors who teach Mathematics in the careers of Education.

Conclusions:

The active participation of teachers based on the deepening and updating of knowledge in scientific and pedagogical issues is a cardinal element of professional development.
