«Normal Schools» are higher education institutions responsible for the training of ele-mentary school teachers in Mexico. Since 2009 they have responded to a public policy established for the formation of Academic groups. These groups are made up of fulltime professors with common interests in disciplinary or multidisciplinary subjects to carry out collegiate research to generate and apply knowledge. The present study aims to analyze the contribution of collegiality for the production and dissemination of knowledge in Normal Schools’ Academic groups in the state of Puebla. With a qualitative-interpretive approach, five teachers from Academic groups from three Normal Schools were interviewed, considering collegiality, production, and dissemination of knowledge as analyzing categories. The findings show some characteristics of the collegiate culture (practices and strategies) that affect the knowledge generated within the Academic groups of the Normal Schools of the State of Puebla.
