Abstract

This doctoral thesis identifies the training needs of primary bilingual education teachers related
to their daily work, viewed through the lens of effective professional practice. Using a mixed
methods research design, a self-evaluation questionnaire was constructed based on a
comparative document analysis, a discussion group, and expert judgement. The purpose of this
questionnaire was to determine the existing discrepancy between what is perceived as the
reality of classroom performance and how it should be in order to ensure the delivery of quality
bilingual education, supported by the parameters of school effectiveness and completed by
teachers from the Spanish region of Andalusia. The priority training demands revealed by the
results pertain to the creation and maintenance of a local and external network of contacts for
the purposes of collaboration; the promotion of intercultural communication; and the
evaluation, selection, adaptation, and use of existing CLIL materials. On the basis of such
demands, several considerations are proposed in the development of ongoing training that will
enable bilingual education teachers to carry out their work effectively.

Esta tesis doctoral identifica las necesidades formativas del profesorado de educación primaria
bilingüe relacionadas con su labor diaria para ser entendida como una práctica profesional
eficaz. Para ello, partiendo de un método mixto de investigación, se ha construido, sobre la
base previa de un análisis documental comparativo, un grupo de discusión y un juicio de
expertos, un cuestionario de autoevaluación que permite determinar la discrepancia existente
entre lo que se percibe como la realidad de actuación en el aula y lo que debería ser para el
logro de una enseñanza bilingüe de calidad, auspiciado por los parámetros de la eficacia escolar
y cumplimentado por docentes de la comunidad autónoma andaluza. Los resultados revelan
como demandas formativas prioritarias aquellas referidas a la generación y mantenimiento de
una red local y exterior de contactos con los que trabajar conjuntamente; la potenciación de la
comunicación intercultural; y la evaluación, selección, adaptación y uso de materiales AICLE
existentes. Partiendo de tales demandas, varias son las consideraciones que se proponen en la
elaboración de la formación permanente dirigida a los maestros de educación bilingüe para que
puedan llevar a cabo su labor de forma eficaz.
