Sumario:This paper analyses a research process as part of a doctoral thesis on initial teacher training (FDI) with a focus on Continuing Education for Youth and Adults (EPJA). The main purpose was to study the initial teacher training proposals for a Primary Education degree course between 2006 and 2015 in Córdoba, Argentina.  The study shows how the interweaving of working, training, research and university outreach paths enabled the construction of the research problem, and presents the different theoretical and methodological decisions that originally framed the study and those that were taken throughout its development: ethnographic approach, time frames, fieldwork, and complexity of the analytical process. In addition, the research findings are described, among which the following stand out: the visible and specific role of EPJA and teacher training in current educational regulations, the processes of parallelism and movement of EPJA-oriented training, the institutional construction of a training proposal, and the different perspectives of students in training regarding schools and the subjects of EPJA. Finally, knowledge acquired in and about the research process is presented: the relationship between conceptual constructions; methodological decisions and research findings; the development of a theoretical stance; the importance of accuracy and systematicity in the analysis; the multiplicity of subjects that took part in the study; and the ethical precautions that the latter implied.
