Abstract
One of the goals of the schools is to promote an active lifestyle among youth, with Physical Education and its teachers being essential figures. The aim was to know the conceptions of university students about what represents to be a good PE teacher in secondary education. The population corresponded with the students of the universities of A Coruña (UDC) and Vigo (UVigo) enrolled in 1st, 4th of Degree in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences and in the Master´s Degree in Compulsory Secondary Teachers, Upper Secondary Education, Professional Training and Language Teaching (Physical Education itinerary) in the courses 2013-2014 or 2014-2015. The methodology was descriptive, using as a tool for information gathering a questionnaire composed by 40 items organized in the dimensions of personal data, biographical characterization and conceptions of the professional activity. For the categorization of the responses obtained, we formed a group of experts and established a deductive reasoning, from the existing literature, and inductive, analyzing the responses and experiences gained in the pilot study. The results showed that the categories that best defined a good teacher for students were their professional attitude, personality traits and educational intervention. In summary, we highlight the similarity of results independently of the moment (course in which they are enrolled) in which the students participated, what does not allow guaranteeing that the initial training that they received change his conception about what represents to be a good teacher.
