Ser conscientes de la importante tarea de formar al profesorado para el logro de una buena herencia educativa. Entrevista a Miguel Ángel Santos Guerra

Abstract

Miguel Ángel Santos Guerra has been a professor at the Faculty of Education of the University of Málaga until 2015. He is the author of numerous works of pedagogy, among which we can highlight a multitude of books and scientific articles on school organization, school management, educational assessment and teacher education.

In the interview, the author raises several important issues to consider in teacher education; among them, we highlight their concern about who are those who are dedicated to train future teachers at universities and what qualities of training are those that prevail today; and a postulate, in which it manifests the scarce conscience we have, of the faculties of education, about what the graduated teachers need and how they live the beginning of their trip in the schools.

Definitely, the work of teacher training, according to Santos Guerra, should not be confined to the simple acquisition of technical skills "knowhow", but in the design, development and approach of a curriculum that takes into account, essentially, the "know how to be".
