Abstract The article aims to present the results of researches on two important processes integrated in teacher training in Bolivia: community practice and educational research for the description and understanding of their essential characteristics. A documentary and bibliographic review was carried out, making a selective reading of productions published in the last five years, besides it was excluded the bibliography previously published or prepared before 2016 and the same which had no relevance and the same which had no relevance on the research topic. The results obtained show that in the initial teacher training centers the space for teaching practice is and has been an enclave of constant concern, since in it students prove knowledge, skills, abilities and valúes as future professionals in education. For the qualitative improvement of this process, educational research is used as a tool that makes it possible to observe, reflect,understand, innóvate and contribute knowledge to the training task from applied theories and / or learned experiences. After having carried out the investigation, it concludes that educational research in practice spaces and teacher training is heterogeneous both in the processes duly carried out as well as in the topics developed. However, there are related concerns such as: The management of spaces for dialogue between different sectors (educational authorities, active teachers, social representatives, teachers and students from teacher training institutions, among others); and the teacher performance strengthening in the áreas of educational research and professional practice in teacher training centers through complementary training programs.
