Resumen

Referring to initiation in teaching in present complex and mutant conditions, leads to  considering more general aspects related to the meaning of teaching and of teaching today. Understanding teaching as a particular occupation, permits identifying relevant aspects such as vocation, procedures and products of what is done. Recuperating the specificity and the totality of the process of producing persons provides traces for thinking in strengthen teaching, among the institutional crisis that it is going across.
