This article presents a reflection on teachers’ professional development and analyzes initial teacher education of primary school teachers in Italy over time. Reflection on initial teacher education should address not only course programs but also how these programs are able to change beliefs and attitudes of future teachers, within the framework of pedagogical values of a democratic and inclusive school. The second part of this article presents the main results of a survey aimed to explore democratic teaching beliefs, values and attitudes of future primary school teachers, in particular their beliefs regarding justice, freedom, confi- dence in the teaching effect, effectiveness of formative assessment function, reflective teaching. The survey was conducted on a non­probabilistic sample of 299 students attending the Primary Teacher Education Degree, in the aca- demic year 2022/2023.

Keywords: democratic teaching beliefs, initial teacher education, Italy, pri- mary school teachers.
