The ideas and beliefs that underlie teaching practice at the high school level are the central problem of this document, whose main characteristic is its ascription to the narrative genre articulate with qualitative research, using for that the resource of the chronicle. An ethnographic strategy with a critical paradigm and under a qualitative approach was carried out to study the teaching practice of a public high school teacher, using participant observation techniques and in-depth interviews. Through the study can be inferred some of the epistemological, sociological, psychoeducational, and pedagogical positions that characterize her teaching practice; as well as contextual conditions that influence her performance. Finally, it is concluded in the need for teachers to become aware of the ideas and beliefs that underlie them, and to assume greater control over didactic-pedagogical decisions in their ambit of management.
