Expectations of the future secondary education teachers
Abstract
The professional insertion of the professorship has three moments: the first step derived from his own experience as pupils; the second moment, in the initial formation, where the practices and the matter play a fundamental paper (we study these two previous moments) and the third moment, of professional insertion in a real context. We move ourselves in the first and second moment, which they know from his path and what they expect to find on having entered a real center. The aim is to know the expectations of the future teachers of Secondary Education with regard to four categories: Professionalization, promotion, evaluation and expectations (social of satisfaction, of future and problematic). One worked with a pupils’ complete cohort that they realized the Master of Secondary Education in the course 2012-2013 that it was promoting 158 pupils. An intentional descriptive-interpretive design and ex post fact has been realized, by means of a questionnaire validated by experts with index of reliability and validity. The future teachers of Secondary have a high vocational index and of inertia. They show a high level of gremial on having recognized the need of initial complementary formation given for equal on having joined the educational centers. The professional promotion goes towards the direction of the center and they despise the educational innovation and the publications. In expectations there are included social questions, satisfaction, vision of future and professional problems. They prove to be slightly participative in politics, in unions, civil participation, museums, libraries, or religious organizations. With regard to the problems stand out the insecurity, the discipline and a certain weariness in the classrooms. Certain degree of skepticism seems to be advisable at the moment of valuing the phenomenon of the expectations the most effective teachers were demonstrating more positive expectations. Also the fact of being an intentional sampling impedes the generalization of results.
