RICO-GOMEZ, María Luisa  and  PONCE GEA, Ana Isabel. Teachers in the Twenty-first Century: Perspectives according to Their Educational and Professional Role. RMIE [online]. 2022, vol.27, n.92, pp.77-101.  Epub Mar 14, 2022. ISSN 1405-6666.

The study's objective is to analyze the correspondence of the role of the ideal teacher with the characteristics of the socio-constructivist paradigm, from the perspective of the diverse participant profiles in this research: graduate students in elementary education (initial and final courses, and master's program); teachers searching for employment; experienced teachers; and teacher educators. A qualitative study with a phenomenological design, using discussion groups, was based on inductive/deductive categories. The results confirm the initial hypothesis, converging in a socio-constructivist pedagogical model and the impossibilities of its implementation in the classroom.
