In this work, we show the results of a research with pre-service mathematics secondary teachers about their Van Hiele level regarding the proof in Geometry. We observe three different profiles whose characteristics are described. These descriptions allow us to foresee certain differences when carrying out proof teaching in secondary school. The…

The main objective of the research described here was to learn how young learners self-evaluate their digital competence. A non-experimental and descriptive quantitative methodology was employed, an electronic survey being used to collect the data. Among the main results, we can highlight that these learners self-evaluate their attitude towards…

One of the objectives of science teaching and learning is to achieve quality science education, which involves improving initial teacher training. The use of methodologies that promote learning in science, such as the enquiry-based learning strategy, are encouraged. It is also necessary to provide appropriate contexts that give meaning to the…

Within an action research framework involving primary teachers and university professors, based on a Delphi study, those in charge of training future primary school teachers (at a Spanish university) identified and agreed upon measures that they thought were appropriate for improving the training programs in which they participated. A total of 84…

The objective of this work was to take a close look at the profile of the digital competence of pre-service early childhood and primary school teachers. To this end, 200 students from Education degrees participated in filling out the "Perceptions Questionnaire on Digital Competence." The results show that future teachers present a medium…

Objective: To describe whether there are stereotypes towards older adults by the group of teachers in initial training. Method: The approach was quantitative and not probabilistic through a statistical study with university students preparing to become primary school teachers in the Spanish education system. This training profile includes adult…

The practicum is an essential component in the initial training of Secondary Education teachers, as it is the first approach to educational practice that future teachers have. This is a fundamental element for improving the quality of education, as it is one of the objectives of the different educational reforms. This research aims to find out the…

The Spanish autonomous city of Melilla, located in northwest Africa, has one of the highest academic failure and abandonment rates in Europe. An effective way to improve this situation would be to improve students' digital competence. In order to do so, teachers must have competent digital skills themselves and also be able to teach them. To…

Despite the existence of many programs and training projects in the field of ICT, in post-secondary education, the teaching and learning process continues to be supported by traditional classroom methods. This phenomenon can be particularly observed in education degrees, even though future teachers are expected to acquire the necessary digital…

Digital technologies play a key role in the fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda. However, their contribution to this goal depends on the digital culture of society.
