| description | In the context of various reforms to the Chilean educational system and the demonstrations that it has provoked, the objective of this investigation is to analyse the metaphorical concepts about the figure of the teacher. In the study we used a qualitative approach and a phenomenological design. 168 Chilean English Teaching students who were in the final years of their undergraduate degree answered an eliciting metaphor questionnaire. The analysis of the metaphorical expressions obtained from the questionnaire was carried out through semantic content analysis. From this analysis, three major categories were defined: metaphors focused on the teacher, metaphors focused on the students and metaphors focused on the teacher’s social recognition. The results show that, even though the subjects are aware of the difficulties of their practice, they have a positive impression of the teaching practice. In parallel, the prevailing idea was that of the teacher as a medium for the learning of his or her students. |

En el contexto de las diferentes reformas al sistema educacional chileno y de las movilizaciones que han suscitado, el objetivo de la investigación es analizar los conceptos metafóricos sobre la figura del profesor. En el estudio se empleó un enfoque cualitativo y se adoptó un diseño fenomenológico. Se aplicó un cuestionario de obtención de metáforas a 168 estudiantes de los cursos finales de pedagogía en inglés de universidades chilenas. El análisis de las expresiones metafóricas obtenidas se efectuó mediante un análisis de contenido semántico. A partir del análisis, se establecieron tres categorías mayores: metáforas centradas en el profesor, metáforas centradas en el estudiante y metáforas centradas en el reconocimiento social del profesor. Los resultados muestran que, aunque los participantes están conscientes de las dificultades de su ejercicio, tienen una valoración positiva de la profesión docente. Paralelamente, predominó la visión del profesor como un mediador en el aprendizaje de sus alumnos Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2020-07-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf application/xml https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/linguistica_hispanica/article/view/10989 10.19053/0121053X.n36.2020.10989 Cuadernos de Lingüística Hispánica; No. 36: July-December 2020; 105-128 Cuadernos de Lingüística Hispánica; Núm. 36: (julio-diciembre de 2020); 105-128 2346-1829 0121-053X spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/linguistica_hispanica/article/view/10989/9459 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/linguistica_hispanica/article/view/10989/10162 Copyright (c) 2020 Cuadernos de Lingüística Hispánica |
