PERCEPTION OF STUDENTS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS FIELD ON THE TEACHING CAREER

Abstract

Social perceptions of the teaching profession are particularly important. So, the social representations about the teaching profession are present in the prospective teachers’ minds before they begin to teach. These stereotypes can be changed following the contact with the social group members, with the company, during the initial training or the continuous process they are involved in. This study aims at identifying students’ perception on the teaching career. The conclusions present the methods to encourage the students in choosing teaching as a career and represent good points for the DPPD - UNEFS in building a strategy meant to support them and to facilitate their professional integration.
