Análisis de las competencias adquiridas y utilizadas por los egresados maestros en Educación Física. (Analysis of the skills acquired and used by graduated teachers in physical education).

Abstract

This article aims to analyse and compare the competencies which teacher-training students (Physical Education - PE) claim to have acquired during their studies and competencies which they claim to have once they have past the transition to working life, and they are already incorporated in the labour market. For that purpose, we designed a questionnaire entitled “Survey on the employment of teachers in physical education graduated from the Faculty of Education at the University of Seville (EEFUS)”, and the graduated PE teachers (N = 104) from the last six years from the University of Seville completed that specific questionnaire. We submitted the data obtained to descriptive and factorial analysis and the results inform that the competence they value most, in the two moments of their life (after graduation and once inserted in the labour market), it is to apply games as didactic material and teaching content. The analysed competencies are grouped into four factors or dimensions in order to be employed working easier with future teachers in primary education with a major in PE.
