This study analyses how teacher training for rural education is approached in the two main teacher training institutions, the university and the Teacher Training Centres in a rural region such as the province of Teruel. The research design comprises a quantitative and a documentary analysis. The quantitative analysis uses a survey completed by 182 undergraduate teacher education students from the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of Teruel (University of Zaragoza). In addition, a documentary analysis of in-service training activities was also carried out in order to gain an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The results show that there is a need to include more training on rural education in the trainee teachers’ curricula. In addition, a historical lack of activities on rural education in continuing teacher training has been identified, although it has improved in recent years.2024http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/14986610.18239/ensayos.v39i1.3439http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/149866oai:zaguan.unizar.es:149866Ensayos (Albacete) 1, 39 (2024), 74-90by-nc-ndhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
