Los mediadores literarios de los futuros maestros. Exploración de los relatos de vida literaria

Abstract

This work is part of the research in the field of teaching literature and the profile of the reader and the belief system of teachers in initial training. Its objective is to delve into the literary biography of future teachers, paying special attention to who their literary mediators were, since, possibly, they end up acting as mediation models in their future tasks as teachers. To carry out this research we use an Author Recognition Test to establish the degree of familiarity of students with literature, and the literary life story of the 35 students of the dual degree in Infant and Primary Education at the University of Barcelona, that configure the sample. The results, which are constructed from a qualitative approach to literary life stories and the quantitative data from the Author Recognition Test, show a nuanced relationship between the degree of familiarity of students with literature and the type of literary mediator and literary experiences lived so far.
