Abstract
The article shows the findings of a cross-sectional quantitative-descriptive study that sought to identify the emotions that future mathematics teachers experience during their professional training process. A Likert-type questionnaire with five response levels was used, which was applied to a sample of 198 students enrolled during the first semester of 2020 in the Bachelor of Mathematics program at a public university in northeastern Colombia). The results allow identifying that 61% of the participants have a positive perception regarding the teaching and learning processes of Mathematics, since they recognize that to succeed in the subject requires interest, security, perseverance and tranquility in the resolution of mathematical exercises or problems. It is concluded that these feelings are stronger in women, but without significant differences between academic semesters or age.
