摘要

Being a teacher is a career profession that requires hard work and dedication however many factorspromote teachers motivations in school and in university contextsIdealized points of view of teaching could suggest that teacher profession is a motivating and asatisfying task but sometimes it requires a considerable effort.University professors spend many years of their lives to form and prepare themselves to impart qualityteaching and to develop the skills as teachers and as researchers. Moreover, the current system doesoften not allow them to perform the task of teaching a class. This fact has led us to think that oncenovel teachers get access to teaching positions may be some surprisesIn this sense, our working group has carried out an assessment of the motivations that new teachershave for wanting to teaching, time spent in preparing their lessons, the goals that they want to get, thefears that they have to overcome and the assessment of the experiences. Moreover, it is interesting toknow the level of satisfaction of novel teachers about their task and how they feel about their workIt has also made a comparison between the results obtained with new teachers and those who alreadyhave some years in the profession in order to observe if there are differences when the experience isincreasing.
