Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to analyze the extent to which students and teachers in the Degree in Pedagogy perceive the training they receive is consistent with employment opportunities in specific professional areas. To do so, we have examined the relationship between students’ and teachers’ perceptions on the training they receive and its connection to employment opportunitiesthrough a descriptive, exploratory, and correlational study. The results show that students perceive the courses in the Degree in Pedagogy enhance professional and employment opportunities to a lesser extent than teachers deem. For both groups, the area of the Degree in Pedagogy with the greatest representation in the professional world is that of ‘Research and Education’. Additionally, both groups believed that the practical training students receive is highly useful for their professional career. The ‘Society and Culture’ and ‘Training and Business’ areas were found to be the less represented throughout the degree.

为新的就业机会评估教学专业人员的课程和概况

本文的目的是分析教育学学位的学生和教师在多大程度上认为他们接受的培训与特定专业领域的就业机会一致。为此，我们通过描述性、探索性和相关性研究，考察了学生和教师对他们所接受的培训的看法与就业机会之间的关系。结果显示，学生认为教育学学位课程对专业和就业机会的提升程度低于教师的预期。对于这两个群体来说，教育学学位在专业领域最具代表性的领域是“研究与教育”。此外，两组人都认为学生接受的实践训练对他们的职业生涯非常有用。在整个学位中，“社会与文化”和“培训与商业”领域的代表性较低。

期刊介绍： The aim of Higher Education Pedagogies is to identify, promote and publish excellence and innovations in the practice and theory of teaching and learning in and across all disciplines in higher education. The journal will provide an international forum for the sharing, dissemination and discussion of research, experience and perspectives across a wide range of teaching and learning issues. The journal will prove a valuable resource for individuals in the development and enhancement of their own practice, and for institutions in the promotion of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Higher Education Pedagogies will focus on disciplinary pedagogies and learning experiences; the higher education curriculum, i.e. what is taught and how it is developed and enhanced including both skills and knowledge; the delivery of the higher education curriculum; how it is taught and how students learn, and academic development; the role of teaching and learning in the development of academic careers and its place within the profession. Higher Education Pedagogies welcomes papers which are accessible to both specialist and generalist readers and are theoretically and empirically rigorous. Through advancing knowledge of, and practice in, teaching and learning, Higher Education Pedagogies will prove essential reading for all those who wish to stay informed of state-of-the-art teaching and learning developments in higher education. Higher Education Pedagogies is sponsored by the Higher Education Academy.
