espanolEl aprendizaje de las fracciones y los decimales representa una dificultad para los estudiantes de educacion primaria, lo que implica un reto para los profesores, en especial para quienes se estan formando como docentes de educacion basica. El presente articulo analiza el Conocimiento Comun del Contenido sobre fracciones y decimales de estudiantes que aspiran a ser profesores de primaria. Se utilizo el Modelo del Conocimiento Matematico para la Ensenanza para analizar el conocimiento de los futuros maestros. Se aplico una prueba de conocimientos sobre fracciones y decimales que se ensenan en la escuela primaria a 275 alumnos de 5o y 7o semestres de dos escuelas formadoras de docentes. Entre los principales resultados se destaca que, en su mayoria, los futuros profesores tienen los conocimientos deseados en un egresado de la educacion primaria y presentan mayor dificultad en resolver problemas que involucran el uso de fracciones que aquellos que implican decimales. Se detectaron algunos errores en los procesos de resolucion de problemas que son elementales en el manejo de fracciones y decimales. El estudio aporta una reflexion sobre la implicacion de estos conocimientos para las exigencias que el programa curricular de educacion primaria demanda. EnglishThe learning of fractions and decimals represents a difficulty for elementary school students, which implies a challenge for teachers, and especially for those who are being trained as teachers of elementary school. This article analyzes the Common Knowledge Content about fractions and decimals of students who pursue to become elementary school teachers. The Model of Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching was used to analyze the future teachers’ knowledge. A knowledge test about fractions and decimals taught in elementary school was applied to 275 students from 5th and 7th semesters at two teachers’ training schools. Within the main findings, it is notable that most of the future teachers own the expected knowledge of an elementary school graduate; moreover, they have a higher difficulty to solve problems that involve the use of fractions than those involving decimals. Some errors were detected in the problem-solving processes which are basic when handling fractions and decimals. The study provides a reflection about the implication of this knowledge to address the demands of the elementary school curriculum program.
