Autoimagen profesional de los educadores ambientales. Una contribución al estudio de las profesiones educativas.
Abstract
Se presentan los resultados de una investigación cuya finalidad es contribuir a identificar el perfil profesional del educador ambiental a través de la autoimagen que los propios profesionales en ejercicio tienen tanto de sus funciones como de las competencias que les son necesarias para el desempeño profesional. Para llevarla a cabo se ha optado por una metodología cualitativa, con grupos de discusión como técnica para la recogida de datos. Esta opción se ha mostrado especialmente indicada para recoger las opiniones que los educadores ambientales tienen, avaladas por su experiencia, sobre su perfil profesional y formativo. El análisis de la información nos permite establecer unas competencias, tanto genéricas como específicas de estos profesionales, así como realizar un acercamiento a su perfil profesional y su correspondiente proyección social.
