The present work aimed to identify the possible contributions of the course "Teacher Training: for an Anti-Racist Mathematical Education", in the conception on Mathematical Modeling of teachers and future mathematics teachers. The training course was part of the project "Ethnomathematics, Mathematical Modeling and Teacher Training: possibilities of implementation of Law 10.639/03 in Mathematics Teaching" and was elaborated by the members of the Research Center in Mathematics Education (NUPEm/UFU). During the training course, an environment focused on discussions related to a Mathematics Education oriented to racial issues was opportunistic in order to contribute to the training of teachers and future mathematics teachers. Thus, this work is the result of a qualitative research, in which an analysis was performed based on the answers of two questionnaires answered by the participants of the course, in order to recognize the contributions of the training course in the conceptions on Mathematical Modeling of teachers and future mathematics teachers. Before the training course, some research subjects did not have in-depth knowledge about Mathematical Modeling, but after completion, it was possible to notice that the subjects had an understanding of what Mathematical Modeling is, although different conceptions were reported. Therefore, it is considered that the course contributed positively to the mathematical modeling conceptions of the participants.
