abstract = {The rural teaching profession demands a genuine commitment to the development of future
generations, ensuring a legacy that transcends time. Thus, generativity would be a characteristic
dimension of the teaching function manifested in various forms, roles and tasks aimed at caring
for students and their communities of origin. Objective: To explore the relational dynamics that
rural teachers have constructed throughout their life trajectories and how these have influenced the
potentially generative development of their teaching identity. Method: an interpretative-qualitative
approach was adopted, following a descriptive, exploratory and cross-sectional design. The purposive
sample consisted of twelve teachers with an average of 33 years of experience in rural schools in
the Metropolitan Region, La Araucanía and Los Ríos (Chile). In-depth interviews from a narrativegenerative
perspective were used to collect the data. Subsequently, the stories were subjected to
content analysis, following the logic of Grounded Theory. Results: The teachers show a potentially
generative development, expressed in the construction of relational dynamics of trust, reciprocity
and positive affection with their students. With their peers, they demonstrate collaborative practices,
teamwork and orientation towards continuous improvement in their professional work. At the
management level, they stand out for their leadership skills and commitment to the development of
rural communities.},
