“Escuela Nueva” is an educational program especially designed for the rural area of Colombia, this was created in the 1970’s and it is still in use. The utilization of text books is one of the main characteristics, not only for the students’ learning process, but also as pedagogical text books created for the teachers’ academic training taking into account the school model features, and how to perform adequately within it. This article aims to analyze the teachers’ academic training text books named: “Hacia una escuela nueva”, Teacher’s training units. Looking for understanding the representations (CHARTIER, 1991) of rurality and rural teacher defined in it. In the analysis, it was possible to perceive that the model can be linked with the pedagogical rurality, not only for the use of the rural life background but also for its clearly practical characteristic. These kinds of pedagogy reveal the representations about the rural life that shows it as pacific, harmonious, and free of conflict and with a strong gouvernmental presence scenario.
