CHAN CHI, Gladis Ivette. Meaning in Life and Goals of Students in Teacher Training: A Mexican University Case. RIDE. Rev. Iberoam. Investig. Desarro. Educ [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.25, e008. Epub 03-Out-2022. ISSN 2007-7467. https://doi.org/10.23913/ride.v13i25.1248.
The meaning of life represents a guide that provides direction to people's lives, while allowing them to establish clear goals, commitments and concrete actions to achieve them. This study aims to explore the academic, personal, occupational and professional goals that make up the meaning of life of teachers in training at a public university in southeastern Mexico. For this, a qualitative study was carried out with 60 pedagogy students. The data was analyzed using the content analysis technique and four categories were established: 1) Academic goals, 2) Personal goals, 3) Occupational goals and 4) Professional goals. The results show that teachers in training find sense in setting goals mainly in the academic and personal areas, and later in the occupational and professional areas. Hence the importance of higher education institutions developing intervention strategies and programs that promote the ability of pedagogy students to project themselves into the future, develop skills, attitudes and values that favor their training journey, as well as to dignify the profession with the formation of integral human beings.
