The proposed objective consisted in exposing analytically the factors hindering and those making easier the learning practices of both cross-cultural and traditional teachers(2) in schools situated in cross-cultural contexts in the foothills of Araucania. To do so a qualitative design was set out. The results showed learning practices focused on the lecture-like classes. Likewise, it is evident a lack of pedagogical articulation and reflection practices, which makes difficult the teaching-learning processes.
