From a research program on the teaching of modelling we present results related to French prospective teachers. These students have answered an online questionnaire about the difficulties to teach mathematics taking in account biographical variables and beliefs on mathematics, mathematics teaching and mathematical. Heterogeneous beliefs are revealed and the analysis constructs three clusters from difficult to easy relation to different topics on mathematics teaching. The next steps of this ongoing research are mentioned, particularly looking for partners.
