The teachers thought is influenced by their initial training, personal characteristics and the context in which it operates, and it is crucial to certain beliefs to be modified when configuring their teaching professional identity. Impact that practicum elaboration can have regarding their beliefs about the family-school relationship is analyzed. A questionnaire was applied to 203 Spanish students in the grade of teacher training of primary and early childhood education. The results show that there are substantial changes in the way of thinking after their experience in schools. Beliefs about the importance of family-school relationship are reinforced, so as the importance they concede to the guidance and tutorial action and the new channels of communication present between families and school for interacting are significantly valued. Conclusions emphasize the need to generate a critical attitude towards the teachers from their first contact with teaching.
