La formación inicial de docentes de Educación General Básica en Chile. ¿Qué se espera que aprendan los futuros profesores en el área de Lenguaje y Comunicación?.

Resumen

The purpose of this study is to explore the initial education programs of Primary School teachers in the area of Language and Communication in Chile. We analyzed the course sequence and syllabi of Language courses taught in a representative sample of twenty universities and teacher training institutions. The key questions in the study are: What proportion of the curriculum is dedicated to Language courses? What types of Language courses are taught? When are Language courses taught? What is the course content? The general results show the following: Only 8.2 % of the curriculum is dedicated to Language and Communication courses; a large number of teacher training programs teach both subject matter contents and teaching strategies simultaneously; the course contents are focused primarily on reading and writing as well as on developing students ícommunication skills. The authors discuss whether the available courses are enough to offer an adequate preparation to future teachers on such a key subject matter.
