Abstract

This article, describe an action research experience in the framework of initial teacher education. The development of practical thinking remains to be a challenge for initial teacher education and the mere immersion in practical contexts does not reveal a transformation process, but rather of consolidation of student teachers' prior pedagogical beliefs. In order to understand and to improve the qualities and learning processes that are implemented in the context of the practicum, a group of teachers from the Degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of XXXXX, within the framework of an Educational Innovation Project, collaboratively designed, developed and analyzed a pedagogical proposal as an axis for the development of professional competences of both students and teachers involved during the second Practicum of the Degree.

The fundamental findings of the study reveal how the disposition of both groups, understood as a set of emotions, attitudes and values hinder the possibilities of authentic cooperation of the university teaching staff, and therefore, of establishing a clear and meaningful proposal. This is fertile ground for fear of failure, fear of change, of not obtaining the approval of others and of not meeting one's own and other people's expectations, which in part hinders the possibilities of professional development of the students involved. In short, this article shows the importance of incorporating subjective dispositions in the context of initial teacher training.
