Abstract: Educational systems globally have had to adjust to contemporary social changes, which require educational institutions to train critical, reflective professionals committed to quality, ethical and contextualized education in their social environment. In addition, teachers and students in training are required to assume new roles. In this framework, the improvement of the educational process is essential as the central core of the comprehensive training of the student body, and as part of this, the teaching-learning process. However, in the Dominican Republic, specifically at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD), this process presents deficiencies that affect the preparation of future teachers, and that represent challenges for its quality. The study aims to carry out a critical analysis of the teaching-learning process of the subject Fundamentals of Education, using the theoretical references provided by the educational sciences and the specific disciplines of teacher training, as well as the professional experience of the authors. The methodology is based on the systematization and analysis of various sources of information related to the key aspects of the research, as well as the application of surveys to teachers and students. The results show the existence of shortcomings and challenges that characterize the teaching-learning process in the Fundamentals of Education subject, impacting the training of future teachers.These findings highlight the need to implement strategies to improve the quality of the teaching-learning process of the subject Fundamentals of Education at the UASD, in order to train more competent teachers capable of responding to the challenges of contemporary education.
