His paper aims to show the state of the art relevant to a study that considers the development of a teaching experiment (Plomp, 2010) (design, planning and analysis of a teaching unit) to promote the teaching and learning of future engineers newly admitted to the Catholic University of Valparaiso, Chile. This experiment is based on the redesign of the textbook under the eaves of the teaching of mathematics . Under the qualitative paradigm, we addressed the state of the art from two angles: the teaching experience and the texts used today. On teaching experience, we analyze, from a survey, the way this textbook has been used and its implication in teaching at the University. For second edge, we considered the study of texts mostly employees in three prestigious universities in our country, observing their mathematical components and / or the teaching of mathematics. The results show a variety of ways in which the text is used, from a simple suggestion for the college student, until explicit support, class to class. On the other hand, use of texts that have a strong disciplinary component (mathematics), to the detriment of the teaching is evident. This leaves us in a complex and challenging scenario for teaching experiment: the design of a text that promotes the connection between mathematics and its teaching as a means to strengthen the teaching and learn- ing of mathematics at higher level.
