This article presents developments in an ongoing investigation whose main theme is the training of physics teachers in Argentina. It conceives of teacher training as a part of a web of historically situated practices. Based on the contributions of Michel Foucault, especially his writings and lectures of the period 1978-1983, in this article we approach the characteristics of teaching regimes present in curricular documents of physics faculties and state documents on science teacher training. The main hypothesis at which we arrive is that didactic discourses have passed from problematizing a particular expertise of the teacher regarding the reality of the classroom to generating a series of internal investigation procedures on trainee teachers. This displacement responds to a concern about shaping a certain relationship of the future teacher with him- or herself, in a context in which shifts can be noticed in the position of the natural sciences in secondary school curricula. We can also identify shifts in the methods of state intervention regarding teacher training. We analyze new regulatory procedures that seek to intervene in the methods of teacher training. This involves an inquiry into aspects of governmentality practices which try to establish themselves on the basis of certain sources of experience (Foucault, 2009) centred on science teaching and teacher training.
