Calidad docente y calidad de la docencia: comentarios al documento de las 24 medidas para la mejora de la profesión docente

Abstract

In January 2022, the Spanish Ministry of Education and Professional Training published a document with 24 reform proposals to improve the teaching profession. After a series of generic considerations on the role of teachers and their impact on the quality of teaching, the document proposes 24 improvement measures that it submits to debate by professionals and experts in this field. The proposed measures refer to the central issues of teacher training: access to studies, initial training for both the Preschool and Primary stages as well as for Secondary, permanent training, access to the profession, specific training linked to different teaching specialties and professional development of teachers. Seen as a whole, the proposed measures and the pedagogical philosophy that underlies them tries to set up a new "model of the teaching profession". This article critically analyzes this professional model from a perspective focused on a more systemic and institutional vision of teaching as a profession, built from the axes of collegiality and teamwork.
