Aspectos que conforman la identidad profesional del profesorado de formación y orientación laboral

Abstract

Our professional identity defi nes us in the eyes of others and places us within the collective group. We propose to study the educational construct of the identity of the teacher of professional training and labor orientation. A study was carried out in Galicia, Spain, over a period of 10 months, in the framework of a qualitative research project with a theoretical- methodological phenomenological perspective in which 43 people participated. We conducted in-depth interviews, a discussion group and fi eld notebook, and grouped the results into three themes: vocation, training and working world. The concern for training and professional actions forged identities related to the rewards of work in accordance with the development of work stages. The heterogeneity of the collective group and the educational reforms allow for varied professional identity.
