The aim of this study is to analyse the factors of realistic learning that promote the professional development of 23 university teachers of mathematics education at three Chilean universities participating in a training programme in innovative methodological strategies for the implementation of a modular curriculum aimed at the acquisition of professional competencies. The data, which were obtained through reflective diary and a questionnaire, were analysed using a qualitative method with an ex post facto design. This method of constant comparison allowed us
to determine five meta-categories of realistic learning that stimulate innovation: the awareness of teaching method; systematic reflection about teaching method; the co-construction of knowledge; the contrast between teaching practices; and the reconstruction of teaching. We conclude that these factors have implications for the transformation of the teaching practices of university teachers of mathematics education, and that these results can be extrapolated to other disciplines
