El artículo muestra parte de los procesos y resultados de un proyecto de investigación que explora qué, cómo, con qué y dónde aprenden los docentes de secundaria dentro y fuera de sus centros. Tras presentar la perspectiva onto-epistemológica en la que se sitúa el estudio y los avances que se propone alcanzar, nos referirnos brevemente a la aproximación metodológica y a los participantes en la investigación. A continuación, nos centramos en ocho docentes que trabajan en uno de los tres ins titutos que han colaborado en el estudio. Para ello, situamos el contexto y los procesos llevados a cabo y realizamos una aproximación a sus geografías e historias de aprendizaje. A continuación, se problematiza el proceso de análisis seguido y se identifican los escenarios en los que aprenden los docentes, los tránsitos entre escenarios y las nociones de aprendizaje que emergen en sus geografías e historiasde aprendizaje. Finalmente, se sitúan las aportaciones que estas prácticas de investigación narrativa pueden representar para la propia investigación educativa y la formación docente. This article shows part of the processes and results of a research project that explores what, how, with what and where secondary school teachers learn inside and outside their schools. After locating the ontoepistemological perspective in which the study is situated and the advances to be achieved, we briefly refer to the methodological approach and to the participants in the piece of research. Next, we focus on eight teachers who work in one of thethree secondary school that have collaborated in the study. To do this, we situate the context and the processes involved in the configuration of the teachers’ learning geographies and histories. To this end, the process of analysis employed is problematized and the scenarios in which teachers learn are identified, as are the transitions between scenarios and the notions of learning that emerge in their learning geographies and histories. Finally, we refer to the contributions that these practices of narrative research can make to educational research and the professional development of teachers.

The analysis of various levels shows that 38.4% teachers occasionally understand how teaching practices can be innovative while only 36.2% secondary school teachers know the importance of teaching practice. It is concluded that more than half of the teachers were having poor knowledge about professional code of conduct; they did not now even the importance of teaching practice. Majority of the teachers seems incompetent in applying action research during the classroom. Study suggested that there is need to set career development direction through certificates, degrees, and career ladders, linked to compensation adequate with experience and qualifications.

Resumen: Dentro de la línea de investigación sobre el pensamiento de los docentes, en este trabajo se muestran los resultados de un estudio destinado a explorar las ideas y motivaciones de los futuros profesores de educación secundaria sobre la profesión docente y la formación pedagógica necesaria para ser profesor en esta etapa educativa. Mediante el Cuestionario sobre interés por la docencia y la formación inicial (Pontes, Ariza y Sánchez, 2010) se han explorado las opiniones de 353 alumnos y alumnas del curso de formación inicial para la docencia, que constituyen aproximadamente la cuarta parte de los estudiantes de la Universidad de Córdoba en los dos pasados cursos, es decir, los últimos que han cursado el CAP y los primeros que han realizado el Máster de Profesorado de Educación Secundaria. Entre los resultados se ha encontrado que los motivos de interés profesional por la docencia obedecen a diferentes causas y que están relacionados con distintas concepciones previas sobre la profesión y la formación docente. Los resultados obtenidos contribuyen al avance de la investigación sobre el desarrollo inicial de la identidad profesional docente entre los profesores y profesoras en formación y ofrecen claves para la mejora del proceso de formación inicial del profesorado de secundaria.Teaching professional identity of candidates for secondary school teachers Abstract: Within the line of investigation over teacher’s thinking, we show with this paper the results obtained from a research which aim was to explore the ideas and motivation of future secondary school teachers towards the teacher profession and the pedagogic training needed for being teacher in this educational stage. Through the Questionnaire about interest to teaching and initial training (Pontes, Ariza y Sánchez, 2010) we have explored the opinions of 353 students of the course of initial training for teachers, comprising a quarter of the students of the past two courses of the University of Cordoba and being the last students of the CAP and the first of the Master degree. Among the results we have found that professional interests towards teaching obey to different reasons and that these reasons are related to diverse prior conceptions about the teacher profession and its training. The results obtained contribute to the advance of the investigation about initial development of the teaching professional identity of training teachers and provide with some keys for the improvement of the initial training process of the secondary school teachers.

A case study was conducted to explore public secondary school teachers’ perspectives, practices, and experiences concerning the design and implementation of the English curriculum, as well as the professional development offered by the government in order to implement language policies and curriculum guidelines in the city of Medellin, Colombia. The study lasted one year and included a survey, the analysis of curriculum documents from five selected institutions, and focus group interviews as data collection instruments. Results indicate that the initiatives provided by the government have not been effective in supporting teachers in this endeavor as they have been very limited in terms of curriculum design, and reflect a technical view of teacher learning. In addition, several contextual and social factors have tremendously affected the implementation of language policies and curriculum guidelines in schools. Besides, teachers point to several needs, including that they have more time to appropriate and implement reforms, that they be included in policy-making as affected parties, that professional development initiatives be freed from political and economic interests and that they be offered a preparation that combines improving their language proficiency, English teaching methodologies and curriculum design.
