Abstract(s)
Change is the key word that defines the current world situation and has an impact on education. What
perspective do students have to assume future teaching roles on possible changes of educational
environments and teaching profile? This article is part of the IFITIC Project "Innovate with ICT in Initial
Teacher Training to Promote Methodological Renewal in Pre-school Education and in the 1st and 2nd
Cycles of Basic Education" and has involved 26 students of the Degree in Basic Education of a higher
education institution, in Portugal. A qualitative methodology was chosen as the aim was to analyse the
individual experiences of the trainee students. As far as data collection is concerned, a questionnaire
survey was applied and for the analysis of open answers the technique of content analysis was used.
The results answer the questions: a) What is it for you to be a teacher in the digital age? b) Imagine
that at the present time you are a teacher and you have to work at a distance with your classes: What
digital media would you use? What kind of activities would you propose to the students? How would
you accompany the students' work? Would you involve families? The analysis of these answers
reveals the students' vision of the teaching profession and also the potential and weaknesses of the
students' knowledge, allowing a more effective intervention by higher education institutions.
