We understand soft skills as an integrated set of knowledge, skills and values that facilitate the effective, affective and efficient development of a skill or activity. The objective of this study was to identify the soft skills that are most often used in the orientation process and those that improve employability, according to Spanish counselors. A qualitative methodology was used. The participants (n = 57) were orientation professionals. A total of 273 interviews were conducted over five years. The results and conclusions show that communication and decision-making are the most important competencies in the orientation process and at the level of employability, followed by intrapersonal skills, skills in interpersonal relationships, teamwork, problem solving, adaptation to new situations, creativity and leadership.
RESUMENEl artículo pretende contribuir a la definición del perfil docente en Educación Secundaria y acentuar su función pedagógica. Se trata de un estudio de revisión teórica y análisis descriptivo. Primero, se sintetiza el contexto normativo trazado para la educación hasta el 2030 por la UNESCO y la OECD. Después, se explora en profundidad la literatura científica buscando los núcleos fundamentales sobre los que construir un perfil común para el profesorado de secundaria. Tras un proceso de clasificación temática con sentido práctico, los contenidos se articulan en cuatro categorías fundamentales, fruto de la reflexión sobre las fuentes consultadas. El marco teórico resultante, formado por cuatro funciones y roles asociados, constituye un posible modelo de formación transdisciplinar docente. En la conclusión se propone la continuidad del debate sobre qué valor tiene el conocimiento pedagógico en el profesorado de secundaria; y cuáles son las implicaciones prácticas que se extraen del cuerpo teórico analizado.Palabras claves: enseñanza secundaria, formación de profesores, formación inicial, profesión docente, rol del profesor.
After analyzing the scientific literature referring to guiding actions developed in secondary education, there is an appreciable lack of research on process efficiency performed by teachers. This study explores the practice of tutoring, which in Spain is coordinated by counselors but the responsibility of teachers. An ad hoc semistructured questionnaire was designed, validated and applied within the framework of a collaboration agreement between professional institutions of counselors and researchers. The questionnaire was answered by 102 counselors who are heads of guidance departments because the insight of counseling experts was desired. The quantitative and qualitative data analyses indicated correlations between the profile of the counselors and the performance of tutoring, described the content and predominant intervention models and identified needs for improvement. A much more intensive and direct intervention by counselors is necessary in a system in which teachers are not trained enough and time dedicated to tutorial action is deficient. Notably, counselors coordinate and supervise tutoring, but they feel overwhelmed by the lack of concrete norms and their workload.
RESUMENEsta investigación introduce un proceso de orientación profesional en los primeros cursos del Grado de Magisterio mediante el recurso del portafolio electrónico. Se diseña un formato de portafolio específico para maestros en formación inicial, desde los referentes de la orientación para el aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida y del paradigma del cambio. El propósito es describir e interpretar, mediante un estudio de caso evaluativo, cómo los estudiantes construyen sus proyectos vitales y qué dinámicas de acompañamiento emergen durante el trabajo de campo. Para ello, se elabora una guía y se desarrolla durante dos cursos académicos un proceso formativo y tutorial que facilite a los estudiantes la construcción de sus portafolios profesionales. El análisis cualitativo de los datos, desde categorías predeterminadas y emergentes, permite 1
