Abstract
The effect of training with teachers in developing mathematical competence in their students is evaluated in six Secondary Schools (Tenerife, Spain). Two quasiexperimental studies with a control group were developed. In the Study 1, the 1º and 2º Lower Secondary students were evaluated with an experimental group (sample size N=96) and a control group (sample size N=85). In this study the experimental group was divided in two different groups depending on the time involved in the project. In the Study 2, the 3º and 4º Lower Secondary students were evaluated with an experimental group (sample size N=81) and a control group (sample size N=48). The results show significant improvements in the consolidation in some of the processes of problem solving, while in the school adjustment no significant differences were found.
