Abstract

The present study has two objectives: a) to analyse the evolution of the perception of future EF teachers of first, fourth year of career and graduates; b) to contrast the professional reality of the EF teacher with the assessment of EF university professors. Ten students participated in a six-year longitudinal design, divided into three phases (2012, 2015 and 2017). Eight university professors also participated. A qualitative approach was used with two data collection instruments. The results showed how, in the first year, students doubt what it is like to be a teacher in EF, while in the fourth year they show a lack of motivation regarding the possibility of becoming one. On the other hand, the graduates reflect the incoherence existing between the university training received and the requirement of the system of access to the public service, an issue on which the university professors do not agree.
