Abstract

This paper reports some of the findings from a study that aimed to analyse the importance attributed by secondary education teachers from the province of Castellon (Spain) to teaching competencies and to establish professional profiles from their responses.

The survey was based on a purposely designed questionnaire answered by a representative sample of 136 secondary teachers from Castellon, representing 23 school departments. From an analysis of the responses we identified three professional profiles based on the importance that teachers attribute to a range of competencies; although all the competencies were valued highly, we found that teachers still consider the traditional delivery of knowledge to be the most relevant competency
