This paper presents the results of a research study aimed to explore the main beliefs and conceptions that have teachers who teach mathematics at the secondary level in Honduras (students 13 to 18 years), in relation to the teaching/learning and assessment of mathematics.

The results show, among other elements, that for Honduran teachers the learning of mathematics is achieved by the active participation of the students. This belief is highlighted by teachers with a bachelor in Mathematics; and that the evaluation is a process that improves teaching and learning, providing useful results but, they must be taken with special scrutiny due to mistakes and inaccuracies that always exist.

As conclusions highlight the need to improve initial training and continuous training of teachers so that use resources that promotes active student participation and improve the evaluation processes.
