Sumario:Self-questioning one´s teaching performance should be a priority for teacher trainees, which aids in helping them to better assimilate the topics covered on a daily basis and prepare them for their professional lives. This article focuses on self-questioning as an inherent part of teacher training which strengthens knowledge, reflection and teacher relationships with education policies and observance of the law. Emerging topics are covered, although not exhausted, and questions are raised regarding technology, immigration, displaced individuals, ethno-education, afro-descendants, education for peace, sustainability and gender diversity. The conclusion emphasizes the need to ask oneself questions during training and on the job so that teachers may constantly challenge themselves and their work and teaching experience. Self-questioning forces teachers to break away from their comfort zone and continuously reflect on theory and practice as well as face the accelerated changes of 21st century society.
