[Recibido en Julio de 2012, aceptado en octubre de 2012] El presente trabajo se centra en cómo ha evolucionado el pensamiento de los profesores, de Ciencias Experimentales de la Comunidad Autónoma Canaria, sobre su desarrollo profesional, durante un periodo de tiempo que coincide con la vigencia de distintas leyes educativas. La investigación consta de dos fases. En la primera, se diseña y se elabora una encuesta sobre formación del profesorado, ejecutando un sondeo de opinión en dos momentos distintos, 2002 y 2011. Se analizan los resultados proporcionándonos una serie de conclusiones que ponen de manifiesto qué aspectos de las opiniones del profesorado han cambiado y cuáles permanecen. A continuación, en una segunda fase, se comparan los resultados obtenidos en la etapa anterior con cuestiones similares ya investigadas y referenciadas por autores en 1988 y 1989, lo que nos permite percibir la opinión del profesorado en distintos momentos, sobre los aspectos más relevantes relacionados con su formación.Palabras clave: pensamiento profesor, ciencias experimentales, educación secundaria, formación y perfeccionamiento del profesorado.
What do teachers of an autonomous region think about their training after an educational change?This work is centred on how the teachers´ thought has evolved. It is focused on experimental science teachers in the Canary Island Autonomous Region (Spain). It is also about the professional development during a time lapse that coincides with different educative laws. In this work, there are two stages. At the first stage, it is designed and elaborated a poll on the teachers´ formation and training, based in an opinion poll in 2002 and 2011. The results are studied and they give us some conclusions which clearly remark what aspect of the teachers´ opinions have changed and which ones still haven´t changed. Then, at a second stage it is compared the results with similar questions that were investigated by some authors in 1988 and 1989 so we can now compare the teachers´ opinion, in different moments, on the most important aspects related to their formation and training.
