This text presents a description of some conceptions that guide the teaching of political knowledge of a group of teachers of primary and secondary education in the Colombian region of Valle de Aburrá. Its purpose is to provide some considerations related to the teaching of this knowledge and the training of teachers. It is derived from a research project in which elements of the Collaborative Action Research method were adopted, from the point of view of McKernan, and in which knowledge was constructed around the practices of the teaching staff and understood, from Pagès's concept of Education for the Exercise of Citizenship, as a form of political education which allows to educate to participate actively in the organisation of social life. At the end, some considerations are made of which we can highlight: The imperative of promoting the autonomy of teachers in the context of groups of academic work; the inclusion of resistance processes that emerge in situations of domination as contents to be studied, and the promotion of the teaching methods of activities that emphasize the active participation of students in the processes that entail their education.
